Chapter 1
It’s about five or six o’clock. The young blue-eyed blonde comes to the house of her friends alone, in her car, looking a little excited and definitely not wishing to go to dinner, which her boyfriend is supposed to come, too. But when she leaves the car, she fixes her hair, exhales sharply and makes herself smile widely, raise her head, and spread her shoulders. After looking around and saying a couple of words to the guards that know her well, the girl comes to the hall door of the residence she needs and rings the doorbell. Some time later, the tall, slim girl with gray eyes and brown hair opens the door.
“Natalia!” the brunette exclaims happily.
“Raquelle!” Natalia pronounces with a wide smile.
The girls take each other in a tight hug with quiet whoops and share an amicable kiss on the cheek.
“My gosh, we’ve finally met!” Natalia says enthusiastically. “I missed you so much! We didn’t meet like forever.”
“Aw, I missed you so much too, honey,” Raquelle replies with a wide smile, stepping back from Natalia. “I couldn’t wait for the day you’d be back in New York.”
“But this time, I told you where I went and didn’t disappear, regularly contacting you on Facebook.”
“And that’s great! But I realized that sending messages on social networks wasn’t enough. I missed the real you. Talking to you in real life, our walks…”
“But now, when I’m back, we must choose a day and go somewhere,” Natalia says confidently. “Go to stores and buy some stuff…”
“With great pleasure! Go to stores whenever you want.”
“Aw, honey!” Natalia hugs Raquelle tightly again, but steps back two seconds later.
“Don’t be shy, come in the house,” Raquelle suggests softly and steps back from the doorstep, so Natalia comes in. “Feel like home.”
“Thanks,” Natalia replies with a smile.
Natalia enters the house quite confidently and looks around with interest.
“Hey, why are you alone?” Raquelle asks, closing the door. “You were supposed to be here with Edward…”
Raquelle comes to Natalia, who bites her lip slightly, looking at her friend a little scarily.
“Erm…” Natalia looks at the watch she is wearing on her left hand. “He has some business now… He will come a little later.”
“Really?” Raquelle wonders. “But what kind of important business does he have?”
“I don’t know, friend…” Natalia pulls her words strongly. “And I… I didn’t ask, honestly…”
“Is that something serious?”
“Probably… I know nothing… Nothing…”
“I got it,” Raquelle smiles as if nothing happened, thinking Natalia’s behavior is suspicious, hugs Natalia around the shoulders and takes her to the living room. “Okay, we have the whole evening ahead. So, we don’t rush.”
“But don’t worry, he will surely come,” Natalia smiles slightly. “He’ll solve his problems and come…”
“I don’t doubt,” Raquelle laughs shyly. “He will not miss a chance to mock Terrence a little. Who can’t also wait to mock his little bro.”
“Yeah, at least, someone can get your irresistible handsome guy back to the earth and make him remember he is not so unique.”
“Oh, yeah, that’s our MacClife, Sr.”
Natalia and Raquelle come to the living room with a quiet chuckle and sit comfortably on the sofa next to each other.
“Oh, how are you doing here?” Natalia asks, putting her purse next to her and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “I heard you were at the premiere of the movie ’If Today Was Your Last Day’ with Terrence.”
“Yes, we spent a good time two days ago. The movie was just incredible and met my expectations. The creators worked on it well.”
“Did you and your fiancé manage to talk with the actors from that movie?”
“Yup, we know many people from the cast. And Terrence already let the director know he would like to act in his movie.”
“I know, I watched your interview. I hope his dream will come true someday, and that man will find a decent role for that handsome guy.”
“I wish it happened,” Raquelle smiles shyly, running her fingers through her hair.
“By the way, I found photos from the premiere and must confess that you and Terrence looked stunning,” Natalia says with a wide smile. “The media already pronounced you the most beautiful and stylish couple at that appearance.”
“Maybe, they would get interested in that and forget what happened between us a few months ago at least for a while.”
“Someday they will get sick of discussing it, and everyone will forget about your canceled breakup. But you shouldn’t care about it, ’cause the important thing is that you’re happy and love each other. And decided to have a wedding.”
“Yeah, I still can’t believe I’m gonna get married soon.”
“Are you happy with Terrence?”
“Aw, sweetie, I feel madly happy,” Raquelle sighs with a wide smile. “I’m so happy we didn’t break up… And a joint vacation made our relationship much stronger. We got much closer to each other.”
“I’m very glad you established your relationship,” Natalia smiles shyly, caressing Raquelle’s hand. “I hope you won’t lose such an amazing treasure.”
“No, never! Now I will not let Terrence go and give him to anyone! That man belongs only to me.”
“How it’s nice to hear it!”
Silence settles in the air for two seconds, during which the friends just smile at each other.
“Hey, where’s Terrence?” Natalia asks, looking around. “Why isn’t your irresistibly handsome man meeting his favorite friend?”
“He’s on the back of the house,” Raquelle laughs shyly. “Having a talk with a person from the studio. His manager and producer…”
“The band’s business?”
“Yup, something like that…”
“By the way, what about his band? I heard Daniel and Peter should’ve been at the premiere where you two were. But they weren’t there, and Terrence excused it with some personal problems.”
“Ah, Natalia, they have serious problems…” Raquelle sighs with sadness in her eyes. “I’m afraid their band might disband soon.”
“Really?” Natalia rounds her eyes. “But what happened? They perfectly played their shows of the tour with ’The Loser Syndrome’ that invited them to be an opening act. And the guys got an offer to sign a contract for the recording of an album.”
“Yes, but their problems are about their personal relationship.”
“Did someone fight?” Natalia frowns slightly and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
“Yes, Peter and Daniel fought strongly. I don’t know what happened between them, but those two can’t be at the same place for more than one minute.”
“Peter and Daniel? But Terrence said they were best friends and always got on well!”
“Yeah, but now they can’t stand each other. Everything is so terrible that those two started a fight right in the studio yesterday and could’ve killed each other. But that’s good Terrence meddled and barely broke them up.”
“My gosh… Do you mean Terrence is kind of between two fires?”
“Sort of. He’s trying to reconcile them, or just to make them start to work together. Because if they don’t start writing stuff for their album at the nearest time, their contract may be canceled. But unfortunately, those two men refuse to make peace.”
“But why do they fight? There must be a reason for that! They got on well but then suddenly fought to the hell!”
“I don’t know, they changed much after the tour. Those two had been very good friends before their band started to play shows.”
“Oh, what a tangled story…” Natalia sighs heavily.
“I have a suspicion that the lads just went too far because of their jokes about Peter having no girlfriend. I can’t confirm it’s true, but it’s the most possible reason for fights. Daniel was mocking Peter much more than Terrence.”
“I guess it’s true. He probably annoyed the guy so much that he told him everything.”
“Oh, it’s hard to say who started that because Peter blames Daniel for everything, and Daniel blames Peter. They blame each other for all sins… But I think the one to provoke a fight is Daniel… Terrence said that guy called Peter an impotent yesterday, and that guy shortly attacked him with fists.”
“My gosh…” Natalia closes her mouth with a hand, shaking her head. “But why? Why Is Daniel so happy about Peter’s failures in his personal life? Didn’t he see it was a painful thing for his friend?”
“He has been mocking him because of that from the beginning. Terrence has always been a witness to Daniel joking about Peter’s relationships and possible inexperience. I remember that he also had doubts about his sexual preference.”
“Is Perkins so heartless and terrible? Was Anna wrong when she started to date him? Is it fine to mock Peter because of that so openly? Even joking about that is not funny! What was that idiot thinking of?”
“I haven’t talked to Anna about it, but I will try to find out her opinion when I meet her. If Daniel is really so bad, Anna should run away from him… First, Peter became his victim, and now our friend might be caught.”
“You’re right…” Natalia agrees thoughtfully. “We need to let her know she should be very careful with that guy. He seems to be insolent and cold for a reason. Even if he tries to hide it and be kind and soft.”
“Maybe, we have reasons to worry about Anna before we know the whole story. Of course, she can decide what to do, but she should know Daniel is not the most trustworthy partner for her.”
“Let’s meet her tomorrow or after tomorrow and talk about this situation. I can contact her on Facebook, say I’m back, and suggest a meeting.”
“Hey, how long ago did you contact her? I thought you knew at least something about what happened between Daniel and Peter.”
“Oh, you know, because of the excitement and plans to move Grandmother to our home, I got exhausted and didn’t almost contact anyone. I only replied when you or Anna texted me… I cared about Grandmother… Comforted her and begged her to believe in her recovery.”
“By the way, how is she feeling? Sorry, I should’ve asked about her shortly after you came, but I started talking about other things.”
“It’s okay, Raquelle, don’t apologize,” Natalia replies quietly, caressing Raquelle’s hand. “I know you worry about her, even if you don’t ask me about it.”
“Is her therapy going on successfully?”
“Thank God, everything is okay with Grandma. The doctors say forecasts are positive, and therapy is quite effective.”
“That’s good your parents are provided and can pay for any high-costed therapy.”
“Yup, I know, we’re lucky in this case,” Natalia smiles slightly, looking down for a second. “Or my grandmother would’ve been dying of tortures… I’ve read so many horrible things in one year that Grandma Adriana has been fighting cancer… I can’t literally sleep at night… So many people have died from that horrible illness…”
“Don’t think about it, sweetie,” Raquelle says softly, taking Natalia’s hand and smiling to encourage. “Since the doctors say that therapy is helping, and your grandmother doesn’t lose hope, everything’s gonna be fine. Yes, that’s gonna be a hard and long way, but Mrs. Lascano will get well.”
“I’d like to believe it. But the doctors’ words give me hope…”
Raquelle takes Natalia in an amicable hug for a few seconds. But they step away when the six-foot tall slim man with jet black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, who was at the back of the house and talking with someone, goes to the living room. He looks a little sad and morally exhausted, but he smiles shyly when he sees such a wanted visitor, who gets up from the sofa as well as her friend does.
“Natalia!” the man exclaims happily. “Hey, friend! It’s been a while!”
The man hugs Natalia tightly and shares an amicable kiss on the cheek with her.
“Same to you, Terrence,” Natalia replies amicably with a slight smile and steps back from Terrence. “I already missed you.”
“We all missed you when you were out,” Terrence smiles shyly. “And I’m so happy you’re back.”
“Nice to hear it.”
Terrence smiles much wider and says nothing for two seconds.
“Oh, did you come here alone?” Terrence frowns slightly. “Won’t Edward come here for dinner?”
“No, Edward will…” Natalia cracks a smile, taking off her black light coat and putting it near her purse. “He just has some problems. But he promised to come shortly after solving everything.”
“Is that so important that he can’t save it for later?”
“I dunno…” Natalia shrugs, glancing aside. “He tells me nothing about his business… And I don’t meddle…”
“That’s how! Okay… I’m at least glad he’d actually come…”
The fact that Natalia came here alone and tries to excuse it by Edward’s business becomes a first suspicious sign for Terrence. It lets him know his gut does not betray him, and something is happening to the lovers.
“Hey, you had a sad face before you came here,” Raquelle notices, crossing her arms over her chest and putting a finger on her lip. “Something happened?”
“Yes, I noticed it, as well…” Natalia nods. “Do you have problems, buddy?”
“Oh, I don’t know where to hide from these problems…” Terrence sighs tiredly and jumps on the sofa, running his hands over his face, while Raquelle and Natalia sit down together opposite the man. “It’s because of my band. I got a call from George Smith, a manager, and producer of ’Against The System’… He said he needed to view the material for a new album in the next few days. And when I told him I could give him nothing, he got enraged. And he added that if we don’t start to work, he’ll refuse to collaborate with us.”
“Is everything so bad about you?” Natalia wonders with sadness in her eyes. “Raquelle just told me Peter and Daniel suddenly fought and actually attacked each other with fists yesterday.”
“It’s true. I thought those two would’ve killed each other even with my pretense… Or I would’ve suffered from these two furious buffaloes…”
“But what happened? You did say those guys had always got on well and been inseparable!”
“I think Peter, who hangs out at nightclubs, has a headache the next day, refuses to work, and literally pisses everyone off, would answer your questions…” Terrence sighs tiredly, running his hand through his hair. “Or Daniel, who gets excited when he sees Rose a few miles away from him…”
“That guy did a terrible thing to Peter by insulting him like that. What did he do to Daniel that your pal got so mad and started literally bullying him?”
“I don’t know, Natalia… I’m trying to get just something out of those two, but nobody wants to speak. They blame each other. I suspect the problem might be about Peter’s sudden irresponsibility and everyday hangouts or the problems in his personal life, because of which Daniel is mocking him. But I can’t be sure because nobody confirms it.”
“Oh, what didn’t those two men share?” Natalia frowns slightly. “And what made Peter start to drink? Why did Daniel start to humiliate him so openly?”
“I don’t know, but our band will be disbanded very soon… Because of those two, who can’t stay together in the same room and had a serious fight.”
“Maybe, everything isn’t lost?” Raquelle asks with sadness in her eyes. “You need to come all together and discuss all the questions quietly, without crying. Persuade Daniel and Peter to talk about their problem and give all their claims. I’m sure you will find a solution…”
“I would do it with pleasure, Raquelle. But I’m afraid you or Natalia would have to talk those two into making peace. But I’ve got no energy and wish to run after them and pray to work.”
“Won’t you be trying to reconcile them?”
“I’m sick of trying to be a benefactor. Yesterday, I barely broke them up and didn’t let them beat each other. But the fact that they’ve been ignoring my calls all day became the last drop. Peter and Daniel both didn’t come to the studio, and Perkins actually turned his phone off. I didn’t expect it from him, ’cause he had been very responsible.”
“I guess he’s at home with Anna,” Natalia assumes. “I don’t think he’ll descend until starting to go to nightclubs.”
“He’d probably spend time at his home with Anna because those two feel incredible together,” Raquelle adds. “But to be honest, we’re worried about her ’cause Daniel is humiliating Peter like that…”
“Do you think he might be mocking her?” Terrence frowns slightly.
“Excuse me, Terrence, but your friend doesn’t look kind,” Natalia says hesitantly. “Raquelle and I have nothing against Daniel and won’t blame him earlier. But Anna needs to think better and be very careful with him.”
“No, girls, I don’t think so. Of course, Daniel is a plucked peacock that loves pretending to be cool. But he’d hardly hurt a girl like that. Perkins often says about how much he loves Anna, and how lucky he is.”
“Nevertheless, we’ll warn her,” Raquelle says confidently. “Even if she knows everything, we will let her know that Anna must take all her things and run if he shows any kind of aggression toward her.”
“Of course, that’s right, but Daniel will not hurt Anna the way he’s hurting Peter. I’m absolutely quiet about it in this case.”
“We’ll see, honey… I wanna repeat Natalia’s words: we have nothing against Daniel and won’t blame him for anything earlier. At first, we’ve gotta find out the reason and then think if there’s a threat to Anna or anyone else.”
“Now I’m not gonna be running after them and begging to start working. May those two do what they want: the first one can keep drinking, and the second one can seek comfort in his girlfriend’s arms… But I will live my life… I’m gonna have a wedding! I’m gonna think about it. And even if our band disbands, I won’t get upset. I will be looking for ways to start a solo career. Maybe, I’d agree with the studio about a contract for recording my solo album… I don’t know…”
“Nice position, Terrence, nice!” Natalia exclaims, clapping her hands. “I like the fact that you don’t give up and keep reaching your dream.”
“It’s mainly because I’m supporting him,” Raquelle replies with a slight smile, sitting down next to Terrence and pressing herself close to him. “If I wasn’t by his side, everyone would forget the man named Terrence James MacClife.”
“Ah, Raquelle, how right you are…” Terrence chuckles kingly, answering Raquelle’s hug. “But be sure, girls, I will get famous as a musician. With these two or without, I will make the entire world talk about me.”
“That’s right! We don’t doubt your talent and think you must show it.”
“And something tells me the studio wouldn’t like to say goodbye to you,” Natalia smiles mysteriously. “They’d easily say goodbye to Perkins and Rose, but they won’t let you go and will suggest you become a solo musician.”
“I think so,” Terrence replies confidently. “And I’m sure I’d get lucky this time and really start a career as a musician. No lies, no false promises…”
“It will happen, sweetie,” Raquelle smiles shyly.
Silence settles in the air for two seconds, after which Terrence glances at Natalia. While she looks down with sadness in her eyes and kind of nervously pulls down a sleeve of her light coat.
“Hey, Natalia, how’s your grandmother doing?” Terrence asks.
“Thank God, everything’s fine now,” Natalia cracks a smile. “I’ve already told Raquelle about it, but I can repeat: the doctors say there are high chances to get well, and my parents are determined to settle my grandmother at our home.”
“Really? They want to take her to the USA?”
“Yup, it’d be easier for us to take care of her. Because flying from one country to another is very exhausting.”
“I know… At least, the forecasts are positive. So, it means there are good chances to get well.”
“Yup, we need to do a lot for her to get well, but the first steps are taken. Although Grandma Adriana feels exhausted, she doesn’t lose hope, smiles much, and always jokes about something.”
“People say positive thoughts help us get well sooner.”
“You’re right…” Natalia cracks a smile.
Terrence smiles slightly, and the doorbell rings the doorbell some time later.
“Oh, I’ll open,” Terrence says quietly. “I guess my bro has been pleased to come.”
Terrence gets up from the sofa and goes to the door to open it. Then he sees the guy, who looks very similar to him, with thick brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin, and a young face, who does not hide his shy smile and looks quite funny and cheerful.
“Howdy, Terrence!” Edward whoops happily. “Here I am!”
“Oh, hey, the disappearance of the century!” Terrence smiles widely, throwing his hands. “I thought my friend decided to never contact me again!”
Terrence shakes Edward by the hand and hugs him tightly, clapping him on the back.
“Did you think I forgot you?” Edward wonders, stepping back from Terrence. “No, dude, I was dreaming of kicking your ass every single day.”
“Oh, we’ll see it, kid,” Terrence shakes his head with a sly smile. “I was also dreaming of mocking you. I really missed that.”
“I thought you missed your dear friend…” Edward crosses his arms over the chest. “But you just missed the moments when you kicked my ass…”
“Hey, of course, I missed my buddy. And I was worried about you! Although you’re an annoying rugrat, I’m really glad to see you.”
“Same, buddy,” Edward smiles shyly. “I knew it!”
“Oh, Edward…” Terrence ruffles Edward’s hair a little with a quiet laugh, takes him in a strong amicable hug for two seconds again, and steps back. “Okay, come into the house. We were waiting for you.”
Fixing his hair, Edward slowly comes into the house and goes to the living room, looking around with interest while Terrence closes the door. After coming to the living room, the man sees Raquelle and Natalia, who are talking about something and laughing quietly, but now turn on the visitor and get up from the sofa. While Raquelle smiles truly, keeping her promise about treating him well for her fiancé and her friend, Natalia does not rush to attack him with hugs and gets very nervous, feeling not as confident and relaxed as she was before.
“Hey, Edward,” Raquelle greets. “Welcome back!”
“Hey, Raquelle,” Edward replies amicably. “Glad to see you.”
Edward and Raquelle hug each other tightly and share an amicable kiss on the cheek.
“I’m glad to see you, too,” Raquelle says amicably and steps back from Edward. “We didn’t meet in a while. That’s so great you’ve shown up.”
“I’m happy I’m able to communicate with all of you much more again,” Edward replies with a slight smile. “And I really missed you all…”
“We also missed you very much and thought of you almost every single day.”
“Just like I did…” Edward falls into silence for two seconds. “Yeah, you look well. So fresh, cheerful…”
“Thanks,” Raquelle smiles shyly. “Your friend is the main reason for that.”
Edward smiles shyly and says nothing for two seconds. And then he hesitantly glances at Natalia, who is tightly locking her fingers. The man glances aside for a while and then looks at the girl again, not feeling comfortable.
“Erm, hello, Natalia,” Edward greets coldly and hesitantly. “Sorry for making you come here alone… I had a very important business.”
“Hello,” Natalia replies quietly, crossing her arms over her chest. “It’s alright, it’s okay. I get it.”
Natalia swallows up nervously, shifting her weight from one foot to another and definitely dreaming of running away from here. But then Edward blinks at the girl kind of strangely and looks at her not in a very kind way. As if he wants to say or do something. After applying some effort to overcome awkwardness and even a wish not to see each other, Natalia and Edward take each other in a hug without happiness and a slight smile on their faces. They look like they must obey protocol and welcome even those they do not like.
Raquelle and Terrence, who just came to the company, do not like this cold greeting of the lovers. And while the lovers look at each other and doubt that everything is alright more and more, none of them hears Edward and Natalia saying something very quietly.
“What the hell?” Natalia throws coldly in a whisper. “Why was your phone turned off? You said we would come here together.”
“I had a business,” Edward replies much colder. “And actually, I would have regretted it thousands of times if I had gone with you.”
“Then you should not have the heck started all of that,” Natalia chants, rolling her eyes.
“Shut up and do what you were told to do. Now we will step away and smile as if nothing happened.”
Edward and Natalia sharply step away from each other and put on too false smiles on their faces. Silence settles in the air, during which Terrence and Raquelle frown slightly and look at each other, feeling that the relationship between the couple got sharply colder.
“You aren’t happy about the meeting…” Raquelle notices thoughtfully. “As if you are not happy to see each other.”
“Yeah, are you okay, guys?” Terrence asks hesitantly. “You’re behaving strangely and don’t look like you’re happy to see each other after a long separation.”
“Erm, no, no, it’s okay,” Natalia replies in a little shaking voice and smiles falsely with sadness in her eyes. “It’s okay…”
“You strangely reacted to each other’s pretense,” Raquelle notices, pulling every single word. “Natalia, you’d been so relaxed and confident before your boyfriend came… You changed, too, Edward…”
“Why do you think so?” Edward wonders as confidently as possible, smiling shyly with a slight scare in his eyes and breathing heavily enough from the excitement. “If everything hadn’t been alright, we would’ve hardly come here, knowing we would be here together.”
“Listen, if you feel embarrassed when being together, you could say it,” Terrence says thoughtfully. “Raquelle and I didn’t think it would make you so confused. We thought you’d be happy…”
“No, we’re really very happy,” Edward replies as if nothing happened and hugs the tensed Natalia by the waist, while she swallows up nervously but does not think of getting out. “This dinner is a wonderful chance to meet each other and you two after a long separation.”
“Well, you know, none of you looks really happy about meeting each other,” Raquelle frowns slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. “As if you’re doing this by force.”
“No, you’re wrong, friend,” Natalia tries to hide her excitement as hard as possible, nervously pulling a sleeve from her dark brown blouse. “I’m very glad to meet Edward, and I madly missed him.”
Natalia moves closer to Edward and looks at him with a false smile. He answers her back, swallowing up nervously and hugging her by the waist with a second arm, as if he is standing so close to the girl for the first time in his life.
“I’m also madly happy I’m back in the city and able to see my girlfriend more often,” Edward says quite confidently with a false smile and caresses Natalia’s head, while she is next to him but seems very cold and distanced.
Terrence and Raquelle look at each other questioningly, realizing that people, who are really in love and miss each other, would hardly act like their meetings are something like torture. The soon-to-be spouses decide to watch Edward and Natalia closely with the hope that they will find out something more.
“Erm, okay then,” Raquelle smiles shyly. “In this case, don’t be shy, feel like home…”
“Oh, listen, guys, let’s sit at the back of the house,” Terrence suggests amicably, putting his hands on Raquelle’s shoulder. “We could sit at the table and talk quietly about all the latest news. And then Raquelle will cook something for us.”
“Yeah, the weather is quite good…” Raquelle adds, biting her lip. “And I could give you something to drink.”
“Okay, we’re in,” Natalia replies shyly.
“Yeah, we agree…” Edward chants under his nose, taking off his gray coat and putting it on the sofa.
“Let’s go, then…” Terrence pronounces, pointing at the door leading to the back of the house.
Edward and Natalia slowly go forward. After they notice they are not seen, the lovers sharply step away from each other, keeping some distance and not trying to share a look. When Raquelle wants to go to the kitchen and take something to drink, Terrence carefully takes her under an elbow and softly presses her to himself.
“Watch these two very closely,” Terrence whispers. “I don’t really like their behavior.”
“I don’t like it, too,” Raquelle says quietly. “As if they wouldn’t have come to us if they’d known they’d be here together.”
“I knew my gut didn’t betray me. Something really happened to them.”
“Yeah, they’re kind of strange.”
“Let’s just watch them and the way they’re gonna behave.”
“Try to seat them together. So we see if they feel so disgusting from being together.”
“I think they’ll do it anyway. To prove to us that everything is fine.”
“Maybe… Okay… Then go after them, and I’ll come to you now.”
Terrence nods and follows confidently Edward and Natalia, who look gloomier than a cloud and are waiting for the lovers while standing near the door. After Raquelle returns, they talk about something that does not have to do with them and those, who surround them. The lovers do not look at each other even once all this time. They try to keep the distance, do not hold each other’s hands, and do not hug each other. Raquelle and Terrence see it very well and make absolutely sure that this couple surely has some problems. Even though they keep behaving as if nothing happened, thinking about what they could do to find out what happened between those, who were crazy about each other some time ago.
