Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. We'll figure something out."

"Well then-best of luck to you guys."

Carlson cracked a smile: "Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind."

"What? You didn't get the keys?" Edna furrowed her brows in frustration, glaring at Hertha standing before her with a displeased expression: "How do you even manage things?!"

"Roseanne said the keys were already handed over, and she even pulled out the rule book on me, saying that's how things are supposed to be done, so she couldn't give them to me. What was I supposed to do, wrestle her for them?!" Hertha was clearly getting impatient.

Edna's accusing tone was really getting on her nerves.
