After a hectic day at work and just as Josefina was about to call it a day, her phone buzzed. It was her mom, Hattie, on the line.

"Josie, your dad was telling me how you've whipped the company into shape and landed a pretty penny for the fashion house. We've decided to take you out for dinner tonight to celebrate. My girl, you're just so capable, and mama is so proud of you."

A warm flutter stirred in Josefina's chest, bringing her a comforting sense of assurance.

"Josie, we're trying a new place this time, not the usual Gourmet Galaxy. A change of scenery. We'll come and pick you up."

"It's alright, just text me the time and place, and I'll meet you there."

Hattie knew Josefina preferred to keep a low profile, so she agreed, "Alright, Josie. Don't overwork yourself. Money's endless, but health comes first."

"Thanks, Mom. I'll take care of myself."

The word 'Mom,' filled Hattie with elation.
