When Peggy got home, she called her sister Eliza and requested they meet up. When Eliza asked suspiciously why, Peggy replied,
"Anywhere, I have a problem."
Eliza snorted. "I already knew that, Pegs. Alright, I'm coming to your apartment then."
Peggy let out a dry chuckle. "Eliza, you live right next to me."
"I'm making an effort!" Eliza snapped, then hung up.
Peggy pressed her lips together and sighed. So Eliza was in a bad mood. That didn't exactly make things easier.
When Eliza came over, her face was flushed. Peggy sensed that this was the time to be kind to her, so she made some tea and invited Eliza to sit down on a comfy plush chair. Eliza did so, and thanked Peggy gratefully.
"What is your problem, my dear sister?" Eliza asked kindly.
Peggy fidgeted before answering. "There's this girl I met named Maria Lewis and she-"
Eliza's eyes lit up. "Maria Lewis! That's one of my best friends! In fact, she is coming over tomorrow!"
Peggy froze for a second. "What?" she asked breathily.
"Yes, Maria and I met at school. She's great fun, Pegs, you'll love her right away! Though Alex seems to enjoy her company as well.." Eliza's eyes darkened before brightening. "So what about her?"
Peggy bit her lip. "I just was thinking she seemed nice, you know?"
Eliza grinned. "Come over tomorrow and you can see her again, I am sure you will be great friends. I will come get you when she's here."
Peggy gulped, nodded.
