She was pleased to get an answer from her mostly rhetorical question, though Laurie's home state puzzled Sofia. She had heard it before in passing but wasn't quite sure where it was despite its close proximity to New York. "Conneti- yes, how fun!" Sofia feigned understanding, not delving too much further. She could always talk about herself instead! "I am from Caracas, Venezuela! It is in South America, not Mexico. Everyone seems to think I'm from Mexico," Sofia pouted. That was stupid to her. Clearly the two countries were vastly different. They weren't even on the same continent.
You could never have too much of a color palette for Sofia, who was pretty decisive. The option for the darker purple immediately jumped out at her. "Yes! The dark purple! With white and pink! That sounds lovely!" It worked out that they were the first two colors that Laurie had suggested, but they resonated well enough with Sofia. "No wait!" Okay, so maybe not decisive more than she was impulsive. "Yes, dark purple with white but then the light purple! What a great idea!"
