Leda rolled her eyes, cursing, "Bitch."
"You shouldn't have stopped me earlier," she huffed, barely flexing her muscles. "If it really came down to it, that old witch wouldn't stand a chance."
Roseanne, recalling Millie's sour expression upon leaving, couldn't help but snort with laughter, quickly trying to pacify her friend, "Come on, don't be mad. It's not worth it."
"They're just two nobodies. It's not worth getting worked up over."
Leda nodded in agreement, "Exactly! But if there's a next time, I'm definitely not holding back."
Anne was always the more laid-back one, but if it came down to it, she'd step in; she could throw a punch.
"Got it—" Roseanne chuckled, "You've had a rough day. My treat, what do you feel like eating?"
Leda slung an arm around her shoulder, "That's what I've been waiting to hear! Come on, let's go indulge in some good food and spicy treats."
"Wait, shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
"As long as the message gets across, it doesn't matter who says it."

In the car.
Beverley was looking at the report, remembering the doctor's words about Millie's pregnancy being promising, and she couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing Beverley's smile, Millie felt reassured.
This was her first time meeting Beverley.
When she was with Murray, he never talked about his family. She only knew that he came from a well-off background and had a sister.
After Murray broke up with her, Millie tried every possible way to contact him, but to no avail.
Murray's firm stance had Millie panicking.
After some digging, she got Beverley's number, called her, and told her about the pregnancy.
It seemed Beverley was quite pleased with Millie and the baby, considering everything.
