"So, where would you like to eat?" I asked, walking out of the boutique after we bought our dresses.
"Well, let's put the dresses in the car first, and then we'll think of something," Michelle replied as everyone agreed.
"How about Italian?" Jasmine asked. "I hadn't had it in a while."
"Either that, or Chinese," Tiara replied.
They debated restaurants as I opened the back of the SUV, laid the dresses gingerly across the back, and then locked it up.
"Hey! There's an Italian restaurant right across the street!" Michelle replied. "You can't get any closer than that, and Jasmine hasn't had it in a while."
"Sounds good!" Tiara shrugged. "Let's go!"
We crossed the street and were about to go in when Anae and Necos stepped out.
"Well, hello!" Anae said, smiling sweetly.
"Anae, Necos," I aid flatly. "What brings you here?"
Anae shrugged. "We were in town. What are you all doing here? Are you following us?"
