Mia felt it was necessary to obtain Sage's input.

But before she could voice her thoughts, Sage interjected, "But let's not forget about Grand-Aunt Patricia. She's still waiting for us at home."

At that moment, Ginger cautiously suggested, "Why don't we invite Grand-Aunt Patricia to join us for dinner?"

Mia concurred with a nod, "That's a thoughtful suggestion. It must get tiresome for her to eat at home all the time."

With Mia's approval, Ginger quickly fetched her Apple Watch and dialed Patricia's number.

After a brief moment, the call connected, and Patricia's warm voice came through. "Hello, dear, have you all made it back home safely?"

"Hello, Grand-Aunt Patricia, we're heading out for a meal. Would you care to join us?"

"Going out for dinner? Who's joining in?"

"Just... just the four of us."

On the other end of the line, Patricia asked tentatively, "Will Mr. Barrett be accompanying you as well?"

Timothy quickly confirmed, "Yes, I just escorted them from the hospital."

Without skipping a beat, Patricia replied, "I see. Since you won't be back for dinner, I'll head to the Senior Citizens Center early. It's been a while since I last went. Anyway, enjoy your meal and have some fun before returning home."
