[Her smile seems to turn a touch more genuine.] Thank you. It means a lot to me.

[At his question about the south side, her eyebrows come down in worry.] South Santa Rosita? I'm afraid I don't frequent that part of town as much. It used to be a rough area, and there's still a lot of stigma about going there. It might be a lovely place to host some events, but I don't know that many of the townsfolk would be willing to cross that line. Do you think you'd be able to convince them to give it a try?
