Two tickets, and a night out worth keeping
Two comedy tickets sit on Deb's table while she offers to babysit instead. Talking with Rosie brings her back to the invitation she has not sent, and to Sue's welcome at choir. Deb clears things up with her neighbour, asks Sue, and has an evening of her own.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie asks whether Deb has actually committed to babysitting and recalls a welcome Deb wanted to remember. The practical next steps remain Deb's: let her neighbour know promptly, then invite someone she enjoys spending time with.

Deb: I offered to babysit during my own night out.
Rosie: Have you actually agreed to it?
Deb: Not yet. I said I might be free. Which is odd, because there are two comedy tickets on my table.
Rosie: Those look like plans.
Deb: Only if I find someone to come. Otherwise it's me, an empty seat, and a comedian asking if we're having a good night.
Rosie: You haven't asked anybody?
Deb: I keep nearly asking. Then imagining them thinking, 'Why me?' The babysitting would be easier. At least I know why I'm wanted.
Rosie: That's quite a difference.
Deb: My neighbour mentioned her sitter cancelled. I immediately offered myself. Didn't even ask myself. Apparently I'm very available to everyone except me.
Rosie: You wanted me to remember Sue's welcome at choir. She made room for you before she needed any favours.
Deb: I know. She always makes me laugh. Usually during the bit we're meant to take seriously.
Rosie: What would you ask her?
Deb: I've got a spare comedy ticket for Saturday. Would you like to come? That's it, isn't it?
Rosie: That's an invitation I can follow.
Deb: No explanation of my entire social history required.
Rosie: What about your neighbour?
Deb: I'll tell her now that I checked and I'm out. Before she counts on me. She was still checking with her sister.
Rosie: Then she knows, and your evening has a chance.
Deb: Right. Two messages. Neither begins with three apologies.
Deb: My neighbour's sister could help. Sue said yes. Then asked whether we should eat first.
Rosie: A night out before the night out.
Deb: We went for food, then laughed until my face hurt. The comedian asked how we knew each other.
Rosie: What did you say?
Deb: Choir. He asked if we were good. Sue said, 'We've come to hear someone else struggle.'
Rosie: Was the spare seat worth saving?
Deb: Definitely. I got to be company. And for once, the only person working was the comedian.
Rosie: If you've done this too, tap like and subscribe for more Rosie and Deb.
