Norris asked Madge, "Honey, which one do you think looks better?"

Roseanne instinctively glanced at her mother.

Madge pondered for a moment, "They're both lovely."

"How do we choose then?"

Madge replied, "No need to choose. Let's get them all."

"What?!"

"That's too much, how much will that cost? I only need one, we have plenty at home."

The salesperson cheerfully went to process the payment.

Norris, like a bashful spouse, tugged at Madge's sleeve, "Babe, this is really expensive, each one costs thousands..."

"It's alright, I'll buy them for you," Madge said gently. "I just received a royalty check yesterday, it's quite a sum."

Norris was dumbfounded, "That much?"

"Yeah-"

"Honey, you're amazing!"

Madge blushed slightly.
