Re: Holiday Plans
Dear Brody,
I’m so sorry I’ve missed our last few catch-up calls. This time of year is so busy with service events and other commitments. I can’t wait to see you before too long.
Have you solidified your holiday plans for next week yet? I imagine you may spend Christmas Day with your beau in Winterberry Glen, but wasn’t sure when you’d be heading back this way. If you’ll be in town for New Year’s, I’d love to make a reservation for us for dinner. Should I make it for three? Let me and Sally, copied here, know.
Love,
Grandma

Hi, Blaire, Austin gave me your number. I hope that’s okay.
Blaire
Of course! You probably had it already, it’s listed in your onboarding email.
Brody
Right. Well, it’s better this way, because this is a personal matter, not business.
Blaire
Oh, do tell.
Brody
I feel as if you’re the type of person one could be in cahoots with about a Christmas present surprise.
Blaire
Literally my favorite type of cahoots. Tell me everything.
Brody
It’ll be easier to explain in person. Can we meet for coffee before the workshop opens tomorrow? Say 10:30?
Blaire
