recounted the whole "rescue" scenario she had staged and how Grace had been moved. They even had a long chat and felt a bond, as if they'd known each other forever. "See, I told you I could handle this! I've got it covered! Now Grace trusts me so much, she even said she'd treat me to dinner next time!" Mandy said, practically bouncing with excitement.
