Ari rolled her eyes at Toby's comment. "In my house, it is," she pointed a finger at him as she spoke as if that made her point get across better. She may be strict and old fashioned, but she knew that by raising her kids that way, they'd turn out to be bachurim and bachurot fit for marrying and impressing the world. She would have it no other way. Plus, it wouldn't help their family any if they were a slew of mutants and laughed at in the community for not following Halacha as strictly as everyone else was expected to.
She quirked an eyebrow at Toby and moved back a little, despite her feet staying where they were. Ari was rather taken aback by how forward Toby was being and how he had the balls to stop her. She crossed her arms over her chest and let him speak though - he had a point, after all. "Well.. I still want to meet her sometime. Bring her by for Shabbos or something. As long as she's not like Eden." The last statement was said in a hushed tone, in hopes that where ever the girl was trying clothes on, she wouldn't be able to hear Ari talking. "I'm just trying to do right by you, okay? Don't get so defensive."
She shrugged at Toby's last few words while Ayelet started tugging on her purse. "Mom, let's go. We still have three other stores to go to." Ari rolled her eyes at the persistent child. "Go get in line at the register, Ayel. I'll be there in a second" she said, gently prodding the girl in that direction. Ari turned back to Toby and pointed a finger at him again. "Bring her by at some point. I want to meet her." She put a hand on either of his face and looked him in eyes. "Be safe and be smart." Ari quickly hugged Toby and then started to make her way over to the register at Ayelet's proclamation of how they were next in line. "I'll see you at home for dinner?"
