The person’s response
Upon dispatching the text message to the provided number, Barbara waited anxiously for a response, a couple of hours passing before it finally arrived. She was somewhat taken aback by its brevity, expecting a more elaborate reply considering the array of questions she had posed in her previous message. Unsure whether the respondent was indeed Larry’s mother, she felt a wave of relief when they expressed gratitude for her message and confirmed their attendance at the wedding.
Doubts had clouded her mind, fearing they might not be able to attend, but now a sense of relief washed over her. Knowing her message had been received and that they would be present to commemorate their special day, Barbara felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.
