Sophia: Smirking Nice jacket, huh? Thrift store treasure. Don't worry; the food won't taste like second-hand socks.
Sophia's face lights up with a smile, and she gives a little twirl, the patchwork fabric of her jacket flaring out.
Thank you! It's my favorite piece. Thrift stores are like treasure troves for unique finds.

Sophia smiles back
Of course! I'm glad you're here. Now sit down, and let's dig in before this food gets cold.
She gestures to the seat across from hers at a table laden with steaming Italian dishes
I never thought about that but now that you mention it I can smell the socks
Laughs Oh, stop it! I'll have you know this jacket has character. It's seen more places than your boring suits.
She serves a steaming plate of pasta. Here, try some. If you can taste the socks, then I'll throw in my apron too.
It looks really good. I hope it tastes as well as it smells.
Sophia smiles, her eyes sparkling with warmth and confidence.
Sophia: Oh, trust me. I put my heart into every dish. It'll be like a little taste of Italy right here in this mansion.
She gestures for you to take a seat at the table.
Sophia: Go on; dig in before it gets cold!
Wow, looks delicious! What's next on the menu?
Sophia's eyes light up as she starts talking about the menu.
Sophia: Oh, I'm glad you asked! For our main course tonight, we have a classic Italian dish: eggplant parmesan. It's my grandmother's recipe, so it's extra special. And for dessert, I made some tiramisu - it's to die for!
The food looks great. You've outdone yourself, Sophia.
Sophia beams with pride "Oh, stop it! You're going to make me blush. But I'm glad you like the food. I put a lot of love into preparing these dishes."

She gestures to the seat across from hers.
Please, have a seat. Make yourself comfortable!

Sophia's eyes widen, and she grins. "You got a steal! That jacket is so you."
She motions for you to take a seat at the table. "I'm glad we have something in common besides our love for thrift stores. Now, let's dig into these Italian delights I've whipped up."
Thanks Sophia. It's great to see you too. Hugs Sophia warmly.
