Cathryn smiled and was so excited for Jane to hear how happy she sounded. There was nothing she wanted more than for Jane to meet someone and have some happiness in her life finally.
"I'm truly sorry, Cathryn, I was looking forward to going with you," Jane said, feeling a bit disappointed.
Cathryn pouted and replied, "I know how important your work is, and that should be your first priority. I'm sure you could use the money."
"Yes, I can. Must be nice that you don't have to work and you still have lots of money," Jane retorted.
"Do you remember the painting in your bedroom? When you move out of Keith's, take the painting with you. It's worth a lot of money!" Jane jokingly said.
Amused by her words, Cathryn laughed and said, "I might as well marry Keith directly."
"That sounds like a good idea," Jane laughed.
Thinking the joke may have gone too far, Cathryn blushed and quickly said, "Don't talk such nonsense. Hurry up and go pack your things. I have to go study for my exam."
