. . .Seriously?

Wow. I’m. . .surprised. Are you surprised? I’m surprised.

Sorry, I’m just—you get it. Why don’t we go make that carrot cake and I will grill my sister about her decisions later.

Oh, come on. Even you have to admit that was fun to listen to.

Ooh it would make a fun song. . .

“She is. . .” Grace trails off, searching for the right word as she accepts the coffee with a grateful smile. “A very spirited person. Thank you so much for the coffee, it smells heavenly.”
