While they are gone, Ellen asks if you would like something to drink. She offers wine or beer, but you politely decline, as you don't want anything alcoholic. "I appreciate the offer," you tell her with a smile.
As they chat some more, Ellen seems to relax even further. Her easygoing demeanor makes it hard for you not to like her. She tells you about her divorce and how she's been doing since then, and listens attentively as you share your own stories.
