Marie glanced down at Tony's calendar. "I should be able to manage eight o'clock."

She looked back up at him and said, "I'll meet you there at around 8:15. If I'm not there after that, it means something came up at work. I'll try to call the diner to let you know."

...wow, did she really just say all that? When did her meter for 'this is insane' stop functioning? Why was she doing this?
