"I'm sorry your dinner was disrupted dear but I am sure it would have been wonderful. I'll come again tomorrow with the portraits of you and your mother. I must remember to bring a gift for your husband's birthday. I hope whatever is happening gets better," Wilma kissed Alessandra's cheek as she hugged her.
"Thank you. I'm sorry you didn't get to stay for dinner but I will make it up to you tomorrow. Maybe I can visit you instead?" Alessandra asked, stepping out of the hug but she was still holding Wilma's hand.
"That would be nice but it seems something big happened today so you might not have time to travel tomorrow. I don't mind coming to you tomorrow and if everything settles down I can host a little dinner for you and Edgar. You will love my cooking. Besides my good looks and personality, my food is how I got your grandfather to fall for me," said Wilma with a wink at the end.
