After they left.
Sadie:why Jude is not leaving to the convent?
Victoria:because she's still not fine
Sadie:I think she's good
Victoria:can I know why you talked about your engagement in front of her?
Sadie:and why not? ...and you saw her reaction Jude doesn't care about Chris.. she never cared
Victoria:yes she did
Sadie:it's the truth mother...and on the other hand she was going to know in a way or another
Victoria:ok maybe it was better like this
Sadie:you see...I don't know why you were so much worried ...her reaction was very calm and this means that to her it didn't made any difference to marry him or not
Victoria:I wish you're right...Sadie I need your help
Sadie:what do you want me to do?
Victoria:try and make her leave this crazy thing to be a nun
Sadie:ok I will try
Victoria:thanks
Sadie's thoughts 'of course I will help her but my help with her will bring me in
good position I don't need her near me to tell me what to do or not and follow
every thing I do I will take care of this situation and finally I will be free from her'.
Jude went on the rocks near the beach, she was looking at sea and thinking.
Jude's thoughts ' I feel so abandoned so alone. Everyday I have to face something
new something more terrible and confusing. Why had Chris have to fall in love
with her? From all the women he could get no my sister. I don't know what he
sees in her she's so arrogant and thinks that everymen is at her legs and she likes
to humiliate me and let me see that Chris choice her over me. What does Sadie
have that I don't have? I suffered too much why I have to suffer even for
Tommy? Why even he has to like Sadie? Sadie knows how much I'm suffering but
she doesn't even care she just like to humiliate me'.
While Jude was thinking Tommy came from behind her and was looking at her but
she was too deep in her thoughts to notice him)
Tommy:what are you thinking sister? ...Bad things?
Jude turned around scared and her leg slid on a rock and was going to fall when
Tommy grabbed her hand to help her from falling. The same electricity of their
first touché ran trough there bodies. Tommy looked in her eyes and was in a
trance for a minute and Jude was still scared but at the same time she felt safe in
his arms and looked in his eyes, those eyes that are haunting her all night in all
her dreams.
Teasers:
Jude:don't touché me I didn't give you the permission
Tommy:I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that...instead you know what I think?
why a beautiful girl like you decided to be a nun.
Jamie:for me she's more beautiful than her sister
Chris:Jamie let's talk things strait here...I will not permit to you to be as always with Jude...
Tommy:I saw two men enter your house
Sadie:me? Are you crazy?
Sadie:my love is not a lie
Jude:ok than so when I see him again I will ask him
Sadie:I didn't do anything...I swear with him I was always good
Tommy:am I disturbing?
Tommy:yes, and I thank god because this stubbornness I have that let me live...with your permission I leave
