"Well, hello!" she says suddenly to Tommy. "Fancy meeting you guys here!"
"Hey Amanda!" says Tommy beaming his best smile. "We're also here for the jab. You know, Carl and the gang here have turned into our best customers."
"Every day", says Carl, still smiling. It is as though there is no off switch for that ludicrous grin of his. He appears to be thoroughly in his element right now.
"And Carrie, so nice to see you. I'll bet you've been very busy."
"Right now, because of covid there isn't a lot going on with the lockdown and everything, but things do appear to be starting to ease up, especially now that everyone's getting vaccinated."
"What is it that you do?" says Carol.
"I'm a music therapist."
"You don't say. Why we must have a chat sometime, darling."
"This", says Carl, "Happens to be none other than the legendary Carol Barlow-Mead."
"The concert pianist?" says Carrie, with a rather mesmerized look in her eyes.
"Well, not lately, dear, you could say that I am enjoying my retirement,"
"She plays sometimes here", says Sarah, "On the baby grand. You have to come over to hear her sometime."
"I would be honoured", says Carol, tactfully..
