Tucked away in a corner and dimly lit, they were almost invisible.

Roseanne let out a sigh of relief, finally a moment of peace.

"Roseanne, you're too popular. I'm half tempted to ask you to dance myself," Mamie chuckled.

"I might just take you up on that offer," Roseanne replied with a playful smile.

"Wouldn't they just?"

"It would be awesome-"

By the end, they were both in stitches.

Mamie declared, "I'm gonna grab us some snacks!"

"Sure."
