No one in the family felt any change in her. Mike had to go to meet a client and was quite busy looking at himself and the kids were too involved in watching the TV. It was an hour to sunset and she was ready, wearing her best dress and wrapped in her favorite fragrance. She looked several years younger and brought back a charming(迷人的)smile onto her lips.

“Where are you going, dear?” Her preparation couldn't wage enough resistance against Mike’s curiosity.

“Aa, well, actually I thought L would go for some shopping(买东西)”,she hardly uttered.

“Mom! I would go with you.” Nicole yelled as the idea of going out had removed her attention from the TV. The rest were so absorbed that they didn’t even hear the conversation.

“Yeah dear, why don’t you take Nicole with you, she could be helpful.”

“All right.” It was OK for Nicole as long as it didn’t alter their shopping plan.
