Brooke nearly dropped her boiling tea kettle. This was a terrible idea. There was no way her family was going to believe they were a couple and in love.

Brooke Kent (8:07 am):

You make a good point.

Is there a restaurant

you suggest?

Anna Fourchette (8:07 am):

You mean that’s not mine? ;)

Brooke Kent (8:08 am):

I’m always happy at yours.

I can meet you there

tomorrow night?

Anna Fourchette (8:08 am):

I was kidding, B. Have you

been to Charlies on 14th?

Brooke Kent (8:08 am):

No, I haven’t.

Anna Fourchette (8:09 am):

:)))) I think you’ll like it.

Wanna meet there at 6 tomorrow?

Brooke Kent (8:09 am):

Sure, that sounds nice.

-a dress for the wedding

-something appropriate for the rehearsal dinner

-nice outfits for photos the photos I assume
