A five star restaurant in Manhasset, Long Island
Olivia, having finished her lamb chop dinner, was trying to make a dessert selection.
"I don't know," she said thoughtfully, "I love yellow sponge cake with milk chocolate icing---it's one of my favorites---but I don't get to get chocolate mousse every day."
"Then have the mousse now, and save the cake for tomorrow, dear," said Mrs. Hamilton happily.
"Wow, thanks, grandma!" Olivia said, smiling brilliantly.
As Marge chuckled at her mother's grandiosity, Don swallowed his usual misgivings along with the last of his ginger ale. Olivia could use a little pampering right now. And they're only doing this---hosting us for three days right after they return from vacation, paying for dinner and dessert---because they truly love her.
Besides, I've just ordered myself a chunk of a slice of German chocolate torte a la mode and a cup of demitasse.
