"Of course, if you don't feel comfortable, then you should explain that to her as well." Matt noticed Liz looked put-off about something.
"Don't you see my point, Matt? I mean, it's a little weird, isn't it?" Liz crossed her arms. She needed to get out of this responsibility.
"Yes, I can see your point. It might get awkward after a while. I'll call her tomorrow for you. She'll understand." Matt reassured his wife and walked over to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water.
"Would you do that for me?" Liz's mood lifted at the thought of getting out of the commitment and not having to have the difficult conversation too.
