Janet grinned and barely managed to contain herself. She was vibrating in her seat. Stacey let her stew for a moment longer, then took mercy on her and asked.
"What are you so happy about?"
Janet squealed. Nearly exploded. "Victor’s taking me dancing!"
Stacey grinned at her. Janet’s mood was infectious. "That sounds lovely."
Janet launched into an excited prattle. Came to rest with the one question Stacey had hoped she’d never ask.
"Can you and Dale come?"
Stacey sighed. "Have you ever seen Dale dance?"
"No?"
"There’s a reason."
"Oh?"
"Two left feet and no sense of rhythm."
Janet giggled and snapped her fingers. "Too bad. You could come anyway. Victor would dance with you."
Stacey shook her head. "For my eyes and yours, and Dale’s dignity, it is better that we do not."
"Well, if you change your mind…"
"We’ll watch Chase for you."
Janet’s smile froze as she digested that one. "Chase? Oh! Chase!"
"Oh, right. Your son." Stacey raised an amused eyebrow.
"We haven’t gotten a sitter yet! Oh, you’re the best!"
She threw her arms around Stacey and hammered off plans.
