Vanessa pursed her lips. "The mall huh? I could definitely use a shopping trip. We could even visit that tea place I was talking about. I heard they have some really top notch stuff," she said. "You can verify that for me. As for that dinner gala. Do you know what it's for? If it's interesting, that could very well be our evening plans! Course, if your mother agrees to come too. Can't leave her alone now."

Hearing Lawrence's brief comment about leaving, Vanessa caught a glimpse of him as he left the house. She grinned. "Busy as always."
