Helen returned back home and started to cook dinner. Julia came down from her room.
"Oh Julia, do you feel better?"asked Helen, concerned.
"I am better. Thank you for your concern and for the mini apple pies, they were magnificent. Do you recall that you promised to teach me how to cook? Could you teach me today?"
"Of course. Today for dinner we are going to have mashed potatoes and steak."
"Yummy. I am already hungry."
"Okay, first we need potatoes. Can you get them Julia?"
"On my way," replied Julia, energetically.
The potatoes were on the counter along with other grocery things. She also found a note by her mother which stated,
"Dearest Julia and Helen,
I won't be home for dinner. I am going to dine with Mr. Billson. He is going to take me to well known restaurant. Enjoy your meals.
With all love,
Annie."Helen, my mom is not going to join us for dinner. So we'll just cook for both us."
"Alright."
Helen showed Julia how to cook.They had so much fun helping each other. They ate their food and went off to sleep, wishing each other a goodnight.

"Hello Ms. Annie. You look lovely today,",complimented Billson.
"Thank you. You look good yourself Mr.Billson,"replied Annie.
Billson accompanied Annie to his expensive and luxurious car. It was a light blue 1952 Bently R-Type. Annie and Billson rod on the car and then drove off to the restaurant. It was well known restaurant, which was popular for serving high quality food. Delicious smell of the food filled the atmosphere along with the sounds of people laughing and chatting. All the people were eloquently dressed, men in suits and ties and women in evening dresses and hats. Annie and Billson were seated next to the stage. It was magnificent in size and was used for shows and singing while the people in the room danced.
A young waiter approached towards Annie and Billson and asked, "What would the Miss and Mister like to order?"
"Could I have deviled eggs and meat loaf?" replied Annie.
"Make it two and also bring Baked Alaska for both of us,",said Billson.
The food tasted heavenly, something like Annie never tasted before. But as for Billson, he was used to eating such type of food. They talked and laughed while eating their food. When they finished, a band started performing to which everybody started dancing.
"May you honour me with this dance?"asked Billson as he offered his hand to Annie.
"Of course," replied Annie, smiling as she placed her hand on his.
The two danced gracefully. After the band finished performing, everyone started clapping and then went to their home, including Billson and Annie.
"You're quite a gentleman,",said Annie, while they were in the car.
"And you're quite a lady,",replied Billson as he kissed her hand.
"Oh my!" replied Annie, blushing.
Finally they reached Annie's house. Billson accompanied her to the door.
"It was quite a night. Thank you so much to this night out," said Annie.
"No. Thank you for accepting my offer," replied Billson.
Then Annie entered her house and Billson drove off. She changed into her night gown and went to sleep after enjoying her night out.
Through her bedroom window, Julia saw everything. She wished her mother won't go out with him. Not wanting to see this hurtful scenery, she closed the curtains and the went off to sleep.
