-Hi, Sis. How are you? -
- Rachel. Is something wrong? -
-Oh, no! Again? Can't I call you without a reason?-Rachel exclaims.
-No.– Juliet answers immediately. - So tell me what happened. -
Rachel sighs offended but Juliet knows her well enough to just wait until she finally explains her phone call. -Nothing special has happened-
-Rach, just spit it out-
-Okay – Rachel gives up.- You promised to tell me what's happening, but never did. I worry. -
Juliet smiles. Rachel is just curios.
-How is your book club with Detective Ford going? -
-Good-Juliet answers curtly. There is nothing more to say.
-That's all? Good?-Rachel can't believe such a short answer.
-Yes, good. No problems, no fears, we feel so good together.-
-Oh, I see… Are there any further plans for this "good" thing? -
-Rach- Juliet exclaims. -We're just friends. -
-Of course- Rachel grins, and then asks seriously. - He still doesn't remember, does he? What are you gonna do next? -
-I'm going to wait. He already feels something, he just doesn't realize it yet. -
-How can that be, that he feels but not remember? -
-We recently discussed how it feels to get on a deserted island and survive alone. See? He's already thinking about it.-
-Listen, Julie- There is an edge in Rachel's voice. -I am glad that you feel good with him, but ... It could be a coincidence, nothing more. Don't deceive yourself. -
-I'm not deceiving myself. I know you're worried, but believe me, I know what I'm doing. -
-Okay ... Do you have some plans for the evening?- Rachel asks, trying to change the subject.
-James invited me to visit an exhibition of vintage cars-
-What? - Rachel is shocked, and then there are some strange sounds like a strangled laugh.
-You heard me- Juliet answers offended. –By the way, I love cars. -
-Yes, I remember, I remember- Rachel managed to answer finally. –All my guys ended up lost in the garage with you.-
- I wasn't doing that on purpose, they were just interested in cars.-
-Forget it.-Rachel finishes the argument.- I see things are serious between the two of you, considering he's taking you to an exhibition. Isn't he worried about your husband? -
-He knows that we aren't together anymore. I had to tell him about it in one of our first meetings, otherwise everything would have ended even before it had begun. -
-Really? Well, nice to see he's a decent man. Then guess I can trust him with my younger sister. Have a nice evening.-
