Once in the car, Meryl was about to call

Anne.

Then she remembered how stressed Anne had been lately with work issues, so she decided against it.

Anne had interviewed for several jobs, but they all doubted her capabilities just because she'd had a child.

The other day, Anne had vented to Meryl.
