Tracey knew better than to provoke her bestie who was currently her benefactor plus bank account. She was even happy to leave Stella's small pauper house for her posh and cozy hotel suite.
Before she left, she asked Valerie if she would like her to bring anything over the following day.
"No...," Valerie thought for a few seconds and added, "...don't even bother coming here again until you hear from me. I will be keeping Stella company for the time being until we all leave for the city. The only thing I would like for you to get me now is my mini suitcase in Stan's car trunk."
"Okay, I'll do that right away," Tracey said and left the house.
