She returns the message, She tells him that shes at sparkle. Moments later he replies, saying he will be there in fifteen minutes. Melanie closes her cellphone’s keyboard. She places a call, “Hey eth, what kind of drink would you like waiting for you when you get here?” She asks
“Ok scotch on the rocks it is..see you soon hon.. bye”
