"Rory? Hey, it's Stephanie!"
"Hey girlie. What's up?"
"Help me! The boys are doing their annual Halloween party and I'm in charge of decorations. Wanna go shopping?"
"Ooooh. You just said the magic words. Wait. Don't you guys usually hire somebody to do this stuff? Let others handle the details, I think, is how Colin put it."
"Yeah, but, Halloween is special. We like a little more whimsy than what the pros give us. Also, um, well, Finn's involved."
"How do you mean?"
"Well, he takes Halloween very seriously. He didn't get to do it when he was growing up, not really a thing in Australia, I guess. So, he seems to be making up for it now, and, while I was put in charge of the decorations, he insists on coming along on the trip to supervise."
"So why do you need me exactly?"
"You, my dear, possess the singular ability to make Finn see reason."
"I'll do my best. When do you want to go?"
"This afternoon? Sorry for the short notice, but I'll make it up to you."
"How?"
"Free coffee."
"Deal."
"Oh, and we're going to Hartford."
"How come?"
"Well, um, Finn..."
"Ah. You can fill me in later. I'll meet you at 1:30?"
"I'll bring the coffee."
