Jennifer was touched. She hadn't expected Melody to be both comforting and complimentary.
[Are you free tomorrow afternoon? I'd like to invite you for tea.]
Maybe realizing the girl was still young, Jennifer added, [Or coffee works too.]
Rosemary gave a light smile, and before she could reply, Jennifer sent another message.
[You saved me, comforted me. No matter what you say, I owe you a drink.]
Rosemary's slender fingers typed back, [Alright.]
[What time suits you?] Jennifer asked eagerly.
[Anytime.]
[How about three in the afternoon?]
[Sure.]
[What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?]
[Either is fine.]
The girl was so easy-going that Jennifer liked her even more and began to look forward to meeting her the next day.
[Let me find a popular spot. I'll send you the address later.]
Jennifer sent a happy emoji.
[Alright.]
