The dinner with Helen's parents had gone better than what he expected with his mother's unexpected visit.

Two, how did Helen get a bracelet which was on the black market? Those things weren't easy to come across and some regular stores couldn't mistakenly sell them. The only place Helen would get a bracelet like the one last night was a good source or dealer in the black market.
