From "Homemade"

Teresa took pleasure in knowing what was in store for her socially; she didn’t like surprises, never had, and never would. Several years ago when she was still working at Hallmark, Sarah took her out to an Italian restaurant for her thirtieth birthday. There had been three of her colleagues at the bar when she arrived. It made Teresa so uncomfortable to have them there that she had loose bowel movements afterwards for two days straight. Who knew what they usually did with their free time? The worst thing you could do to Teresa was take her by surprise. Sarah knew this about her, and sometimes, she wondered if she hadn’t organized the party out of spite.
