Roseanne chimed in, "Would you like to try some lemon squares? I can grab one for you?"

Just as the elderly lady was about to respond, Corley's phone rang.

Whatever was said on the other end immediately darkened his expression. "Alright, I understand. Keep things under control, I'll be there as soon as I can..." he said before hanging up.

He then turned to Roseanne, apologetically, "I'm really sorry, there's an emergency at work, I have to go."

"That's fine. But we haven't seen Roseanne's parents yet..." the elder trailed off.

Roseanne quickly interjected, "It's okay, you have urgent matters to attend to. We can always meet another time."

"Alright."

By the time Madge and Norris joined them, Corley was already escorting the elders out of the café and into his car, speeding off.
