"I need to head out early, Nanette. Something's come up."

Isadora kept her eyes on her phone as she spoke.

Nanette glanced over, looking like something was weighing on her mind. She noticed Isadora still staring intently at her phone.

A knowing, slightly teasing smile spread across Nanette's face. "Alright then, don't let me keep you. Go on your Prince Charming's waiting."
