-Is that him? - Rachel looks at a man, leaving the building on the other side of the street. - He is really handsome. Good choice, sis. - Rachel whistles.- If you really want to exchange Jack for someone else ... -

-Rach!-Juliet stares angrily at her.

-What? Okay, okay. By the way, who's that next to him? - She points at a dark-haired man, with whom James is speaking.-At least, I have to have some of my own interest in this case-

-Rach?-Juliet looks at her in amazement.

-What? Do you know any other words besides my name?- she teases.-So about that man, do you know him? -

Juliet sighs.

-Yes, that's his partner, Miles Straume.- After a pause, she adds - He was there, too .-

-I see - Rachel is still looking at the men. - Well, as I can see he is a social one and a nice guy. Anyway he's much better than your doctors. No offense.-

-No offense - Juliet laughs.

-Your Jack is a rare exception. I don't understand why most of them can't be at least a little more attractive? - Rachel says aloud.

-I think it's all because of this white coat.- James murmurs.-Give me the one and I will rule the world .-

-I'm afraid I'm not ready to share your desire to become a doctor .-

Juliet says, a little more seriously than she would like.But all those years and all patients, she lost ... It's not his fault, he just doesn't know about that part of her life.

-Being an engineer or security officer isn't so bad – She tries to return levity to their conversation in an attempt to hide her reaction ...

-Come on- he smiles mischievously.-What do you see in these suits? And doctor's coats ... -he rolls his eyes.-Just imagine, baby. You standing at my bed in only in a short, white gown, mmm-

-James! - She angrily hits him in the chest.

-Ouch! - He presses his hand to his chest – Do I understand that you like my idea, and you're already trying to beat me, so I'll have to go to the infirmary.- He comes closer to her.

-You are incorrigible, you know?-

A devilish smile appears on his face. –You'd prefer me changing?-

-No.I'm fine with you.-she smiles and leans over to kiss him.

-Juliet!- Rachel waves her hand in front of Juliet's face.

-Sorry, just lost in thoughts-Juliet smiles sadly.

-About him? -

-Yes, no, I don't know Rach. It's so difficult. All of this. - Juliet stands up.

-Hey, Julie, what happened? - Rachel grabs her arm and pulls her back down.

-Nothing. Just ... We shouldn't have done this! What good can come of it? I'm married. He ...- Juliet glances at the street- He lives on his own, without even thinking about me.-

-Sis-

-It's not a game, Rachel. Every time I see him, every small detail… They evoke the memories about our past life. I was happy then. I was flying. And then ... Then I look around and realize that it didn't happen. It's all just in my dreams and thoughts. And it hurts, Rach. Heck, it's too painful to lose him again and again.- Juliet drops her head into her hands.

Rachel keeps quiet, not knowing what to say.

-You know -Juliet says hoarsely - I think I should leave. I have to pretend that none of this doesn't exist, that I never met him and so on. Then everything will be fine.- She says these words so desperately, as if she's trying to convince herself.- Let's go home, Rachel. I want to hear more about Julian and Emma.-

Juliet gets up from their table and goes to the door. Rachel follows her. Jack was absolutely right, they need to talk, but Rachel doesn't know how to start this conversation.
