- Call him - Rachel tells her for fifth time that evening.

- And what will I say him?-

- Suggest that you go somewhere, for coffee-

-Great! A married woman invites a man out for coffee. What will he think of me? -

- Don't dramatize, Juliet. As if you never drank coffee with a man. If you won't call him, I will.- Rachel grabs phone.-Tell me the number .-

- No-Juliet looks at her angrily- I told you, we won't do that.-

- But why? What do you have to lose? It's not like you will owe him something. This meeting will give closure to the incident in the park, and you will have the opportunity to fix this whole situation.-

Juliet hesitates.

-Come on, humor me.-

-Okay, I'll call him, but you'll go with me.-

Rachel rolls eyes.-Apparently it should frighten me! -

Juliet dials and listens to the long beeps. She was going to hang up when she hears the painfully familiar voice.

-Hello.-

-Mr. Ford -

It's so strange to call him that.

-It's Ju ... Mrs. Shephard. We met in the park and you suggested I call you.-

- Of course-

She can almost see him smiling and running his hand through hairs.

- I'm glad you called. You still didn't tell me how I can apologize for that incident.-

-You don't have to apologize. -

- I insist. I'd want to do something for you and your sister.-

Rachel signals her that it is the time to come to the point and Juliet obeys with a sigh.

-We can have a coffee.-

-Great idea. I just know a wonderful coffee shop not far from the park. "Daisies' island" Maybe you've heard of it? -

-Yes! I've stopped there before.-

-What a coincidence. At three, tomorrow, in the cafe? -

-Okay-

-It was nice to talk to you.-

-Me too-

- Well! Was it that difficult? – Rachel chuckles.

Juliet just rolls her eyes.

-So where are we going tomorrow? – Rachel asks.

-Cafe "Daisies' island".-

-What a strange name for a coffee shop.-

-Yeah, that name ... - Juliet whispers.

Juliet returns from the motor pool.Today is her birthday, but she had to go to work, because Harry was ill. And, as if that wasn't enough, James drove by this afternoon to say that he was summoned to the Hydra Station, and that means that he won't be home till night. So Juliet already imagines how she'll take a bath and sit on the couch with a book, waiting for James.And it shouldn't be a problem that she's doing that almost every day. This day isn't special.

She comes to the door and sees a daisy with a note lying on the steps.

"Welcome home, grease monkey."

She smiles and picks up a flower.Who would have thought that James was so romantic to leave her a gift?She goes inside, takes off her shoes and goes right to the bathroom.

There is another daisy with a note under the mirror.

"Fell free to relax in the bathroom all alone"

Juliet laughs, undressing.Who would doubt that he still remembers the episode from the beginning of their life in the Dharma Initiative?
After the bathroom, she goes into their bedroom and sees the third daisy right on the bed.

"Now, when you are clean and shiny, we can go to the main part. Happy Birthday, sweetheart!I look forward to this evening, to hug you and kiss you."

Juliet smiles widely at how well he knows her daily routine and goes out to the kitchen. If she's right there should be a daisy there, too.

Of course! There is a flower with a note on the kitchen table.

"Look into the refrigerator. It's not perfect, but I did my best to make it at least edible. "

She opens the refrigerator with interest, wondering what there might be, and freezes at the sight of a cake with five candles in it.It's the first time in her life that a man baked a birthday cake for her.

She closes the refrigerator. They will eat it together. Instead Juliet pours herself a cup of coffee and walks into the living room.On the couch there is the fifth daisy and a beautifully wrapped box. With trembling hands, Juliet opens the package.

"Happy Birthday, my Daisies' island queen!Accept this small gift from your faithful servant."

Juliet's looking at the beautiful dress in the box and crying.This is the best birthday of her life.
