There's not only one, and it all depends on timing. She might choose you after you bake her famous Christmas cookies come December "just because;" we might choose Cajun Shrimp "just because" it's warm outside. Then next week, the slate is clean again—and the wall of OPI bottles at the nail salon is flush with possibility.
