The hello she meant to practise in private
Deb rings Sue's doorbell, then quietly rehearses a simple hello while she waits. Her main rule is not to say sorry. When Sue answers through the speaker, that is exactly the word that comes out. Deb had been looking forward to the visit all week, yet briefly considers leaving. Inside, Sue opens her own cupboard for coasters and a pile of magazines slides out: her immaculate room has a hiding place. The two friends laugh and talk until the tea goes cold. Deb later tells Rosie about both awkward moments and the next visit she has already planned.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie remembers that Sue is Deb's friend from choir, then asks what actually happened at the door. The conversation leaves room for the embarrassment, the joke and the company Deb enjoyed afterwards.

Deb: I practised saying hello. Her doorbell answered. I'd just rung Sue's bell.
Rosie: Sue from choir?
Deb: Yes. While I waited, I went, 'Stand up straight. Say hello. Don't say sorry before anything's happened.'
Rosie: Solid plan.
Deb: Then this little speaker went, 'Deb? Shall I give you another minute?'
Rosie: What came out?
Deb: 'Sorry.' First word. Exactly the one I'd banned. I looked down the path like I could still leave. I'd been looking forward to seeing her all week.
Rosie: Did you go in?
Deb: Yes. Her house looked immaculate. Then she opened a cupboard for coasters. Out slid a pile of magazines. 'That's where I tidied to,' she said.
Rosie: Even the cupboard gave her away.
Deb: We laughed. The tea went cold. We were still talking. Next Tuesday, I'm going again. I'm practising on the walk. Lamp-posts haven't answered yet.
Rosie: Follow for more Rosie and Deb.
