But then she recalled how Charlene had once complimented Sally for being so adorable. Besides, they seemed to know each other quite well.
As this thought crossed her mind, Jasmine quickly cleaned her tears and reached for Thorne's pocket. "Dad, giveyour phone." Thorne, having caught on to the gist of what Claudia was saying, handed his phone to her while gently wiping away her tears with his thumb. Jasmine hurriedly punched in Charlene's number and dialed.
Charlene had just finished watching a movie and was now playing games in the arcade next to the theater. Seeing Thorne's call, she dismissed it without a second thought.
Jasmine's eyes were still teary. "Mom didn't answer." "She's probably busy," Thorne suggested. "How about we don't disturb her and go out for dinner tonight, just you and me?" To Jasmine, Thorne saying Charlene was busy meant that he also believed Cain had mistaken someone else for her mom.
Feeling reassured, Jasmine asked, "Can Ms. Hawkins join us?" Thorne chuckled. "Of course." Jasmine, feeling much better, slipped off his lap and was about to return to her puzzle.

Sally answered promptly, her face lighting up with surprise. "Hey, Minnie! The teacher said you wanted to talk to me? Do you want to hang out?" Even though Jasmine didn't seem to like her much, Sally had always admired Jasmine. She thought Jasmine was bold and confident, which she found pretty cool. "Yeah," Jasmine replied, her lips pressed into a tiny pout. "Where are you right now?" "At home!" Sally said cheerfully, turning the camera around. "My grandparents are here, and they're helping my mom make my favorite spaghetti. Do you want to-" Seeing that Sally's family was indeed making spaghetti at home, Jasmine felt more at ease. She asked, "You didn't go to the movies with my mom today, did you?" Sally shook her head. "With Ms. Ross? No, I haven't seen Ms. Ross in ages." 1/2
Hearing this, Jasmine finally relaxed.
"Got it. Enjoy your spaghetti."
She was about to end the video call but hesitated for a moment, OM e awkwardly adding, "Bye." Sally responded, "Oh, bye-bye..."
