We turned on one another deep, drowned gazes, and exchanged a kiss that reduced my bones to rubber and my brain to gruel – Peter De Vries.

Two days later, Gisele decided to call Lizzie. “Hello, stranger.”, Lizzie said as she answered.

“Hey, Liz.”

“Yeah just ‘hey’. No ‘Lizzie, I missed you so much!! How are you. I wish I could come stay with you'”

“Lizzie…”, Gisele started.

“It’s okay, I get it”, Lizzie cut in.

“You do?”, Gisele asked, surprised. Lizzie never let stuff like that go. She’ll rant, scream and sulk.

“Yeah, I get that I live in some faraway village with no modern amenities”, Lizzie said sarcastically.

“I said I was sorry, Jeez”, Gisele exclaimed then continued, “So many things have happened and I realize I need you so much”

“Oh dear. Don’t worry call me at any time and I’ll call you too, Okay”

“Yay. I have a free day sometime soon. I’ll come see you”

“Okey Dokey. I’ll be waiting”, Lizzie said and hung up.
