neutral  Taña Dalglish: ¿Dominicana? [¿República Dominicana, supongo, porque no puede ser la isla de Dominica?]. Trifles is a "thing of little value or importance" which does not mean that is necessarily cool/cute.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Jeff: I think the question is quite straightforward, and I honestly see no mention of a lover (if she were accusing him of spending on a lover, I think the tone would be more aggressive, and she would mention another woman?).
