“I heard a while back that you run a large florist with beautiful flowers. I’ve always wanted to visit, but I never had the time. Now that my sister-in-law is on winter break and doesn’t need me to pick her up from kindergarten every day, I have a bit of free time and decided to come and browse. Then, I suddenly remembered that tomorrow’s my mother-in-law’s birthday. I’ve prepared a gift for her, but I still need a bouquet of flowers. Since you own a flower shop, I thought I’d come by and have a look.”

Mrs. Longbottom was acting convincingly and Camryn chose not to expose her either. Until she removed Mrs. Longbottom’s mask, she could not reveal that Mrs. Longbottom was Carrie.

“Mrs. Longbottom, you really are so filial. What size bouquet would you like? I’ll make sure it’s arranged to her satisfaction.”

“I’m just the daughter-in-law, so a modest bouquet suitable for a mother-in-law will do. I’ll let my father-in-law give her the large bouquets. I wouldn’t want to overshadow him.”
