Hey mom the zinnias came in I put them in the window for you.

I have to leave in five anything else I can do real quick well I was hoping we could talk about the black party next week

Rosio asked if you could help serve the empanadas again and your father is doing decorations the night before so I'll see if I have time.

Have time?

Yeah, Blaine's mom is hosting a Rockefeller Foundation fundraiser which you wouldn't know but is huge and she might need help which is why I'm meeting

her today for the first time and is it...

Valentina, what is that?

That's a tennis bracelet.

Blink gave it to me.

You play tennis in that?

No, mom. It's a term for a diamond bracelet.

Diamonds?

Valentina, I forbid you to wear that someone could hurt you.

I'm only wearing it now because I'm about to go meet Blaine's mother.

And don't worry, no one's jacking kids for diamond bracelets below 96th Street.

You saying you might not come to the block party at all this year?

Well, if Mrs Davis wants my help with a fundraiser, then...

I'm Valentina.

It's Val, mom.

And everyone is going to be there.

The Rockefeller's, the Bloomburgs.

You wouldn't actually expect me to pass that up to serve empanadas and play dominoes in the streets, would you?
