Justin sat in his chair, stroking his black greyish beard as his wife Juliet just looked at him. And unlike her, he aged quite well. But it didn't bother her. She was still older than him regardless. " Where is he Honey? He is running late. He should have been here by now. " Juliet said as he picked at his beard. After a long five minutes a knock fell upon their front Door. " That must be him now. I will get it , sweetie." Justin said as he got up from his chair and almost fell cause of a toy, one of his little boy's left out and about. As Justin regained his composure he reached out and opened the door to see her. It was H.J. Darling, but he already knew who it was. " Come on in, Harper. What's on your mind?"
" That's just it Justin. I actually came to talk to Juliet if that is okay? By the way how are your kids doing?"
" Little Theresa is taking a nap, while Jerry and Max are in their room playing. "
" That's nice, but what I have to ask Juliet is important, where is she?"
" She is in the kitchen, making supper for tonight. You want me to get her for you?"
'No, it's okay. I can just go find her. " Justin showed Harper the way as he left the hallway to check on his kids as Harper stood in front of Juliet." Hello Harper, it's nice seeing you. It's been a while hasn't it?'
" Yes it has been, but I wanted to talk to you, about what we talked about before. About the book."
" Oh yeah, that book. I remember, is it finished yet?,"
"No Juliet, it isn't and I don't exactly know what to do.?"
' I know what you could do, you could just go see Aaron. he will help you, you know he would. He was married to her. He was there too you know. Just ask him."
"You really think Aaron will help me? After the way Mason treated him..I don't know."
' it doesn't hurt to try, talking to him. Give it a shot, you don't have anything to lose."
" You know what Juliet you are right. I think I will. " before long Justin walked by hearing the tail end of Juliet's and Harper's conversation. " Talk to who?" He questioned.
" Just an old friend of mine, Justin. Just an old friend is all." Harper replied back.
" That's awesome. Do you plan on staying for supper, I bet the kids would love to see their godmother."
" Yeah sure, why not. You don't have to talk me into it, gladly." Harper helped Juliet set the table while Justin got the kids ready for dinner. In just 15 minutes Justin, Juliet and their kids as well as Harper her self sat, enjoying a peaceful, friendly meal together at the family table. " I'm glad you came by Harper. It's been a while. Haven't seen you in like a year or 2. Well, not since my dad.. well you know," Justin said as he soon took another bite.
" Yeah, I know Justin I do. It's been Hard on your mom, your brother and Alex. I talk to them as much as I can. I just can't believe, Aaron doesn't visit them. " Harper replied back. After an hour Harper helped Juliet clean up the kitchen while Justin got his kids ready for bed. By the time the kids fell asleep Justin came back out and saw Harper and Juliet hugging each other. " Remember what I said. If anyone can help you, he can. " Juliet soon opened the front door and escorted Harper outside then went back in to see her husband, Justin. " Who?.. who can help." Justin asked his wife.
" Harper is having trouble with one of her stories.. you know writer's block. So I suggested she go see Aaron Fauston. " Justin looked at Juliet with a state of shock, his eyes about to bulge out of his face, and decided to keep as calm as he could. " How could you do that, Juliet ? If Alex found out about this, she would go nuts. "
" Don't worry honey.. everything is going to be just fine. I promise. There hasn't been any problems in fact it's peaceful now, Quiet and Serene too. Nothing bad will happen, Aaron and Alex saw to that 19 years ago. "
