Roseanne paused for a moment before reminding her, "...Mamie, did you forget to change your shoes?" "Huh?"
Mamie glanced down at her Crocs, "Nope, these are the ones. What about them?"
"You... cto class in flip-flops?"

He offered the flowers to her.
Roseanne, however, stepped back, maintaining a distance. "I don't want them."
He gave a bitter smile. "Can't | even say congratulations?"
"You can say it, but | won't accept the flowers."
