-----------------------------------------------
" Grace calm down "
" do you mean that Mabel, his first love , is here and they are together "
" yes Grace but I think it is a bad idea to leave those together talking for a long time, something might happen after all they were lovers before "

" yes I know how you feel, after everything, it is not easy, I know you blamed him for your mother's death I don't want to waste your time because you have exams . We will talk about it some other time , good night "
"good night Lola "
"yes and one last thing, don't allow what happened to get the best of you and overshadowed you and distract your focus on your exams "
" don't worry Lola, I know that this exams is very important and I keep my emotions beside "
" that's good to know ,go to sleep so that you can wake up early "
-----------------------------------------------
" Grace, why are you moody ? "
" I am like this because you didn't give me a helping hand when the party was over, you weren't even there to spend some time with me, but you had time to flirt with Mabel "
" what do you mean ? This is her first time to step in to the country for 8 years and she decided to come over to my party, we just catch up that's all "
" catch up ha ? You were catching up for more than an hour with your ex lover or flirting "
" Grace can you stop it , it's my birthday for God's sake "

" Grace take it easy "
" maybe I will go to his office, maybe I will find him there "
" Grace ! Andres is not a kid I am sure he can take care of himself "
" You are right but I am having a bad feeling that something has happened to him because he has never been this late before "
" I understand, but calm down, he will come back to you, take it easy "
-----------------------------------------------
" Really ? "
"Yes seriously it happened to me once "
" You are really funny "
" Oh my, it's getting late I need to get going "
