Hi,Grace
ResponderEliminarI’m so glad to hear from you!
This is horrible noticed, but maybe you could follow the next advice and i’m sure that they can help you to feel better:
I think that the best way to solve this problem is that you should take with Marilyn, because maybe she forgot to invited you or maybe ir could be a misunderstanding.
In case of that she doesn’t invited you, you should ask she why not, it is possible y that she has a good reason.
Marilyn and you are friends and i’m sure that there is a good reason why didn’t invite you.
I hope that this advices can help you.
Best wishes

Id like that old times but I think this will be a good time for tennis too, with Alcaraz. We have got one of the best tennis legends in Spain.
