Anastasia didn’t insist on it as Lorelai declined. In the meantime, the food was served, so they had steered their conversation to other topics. Anastasia believed that the latter could understand her meaning, even though she had not spoken the obvious.

“There’s no need to trouble you. I will do it myself, Anastasia said as she took the suit from Lorelai.

next time, then.”
