Chapter 5

As Julie sipped on her coffee at her desk, she was really hoping she had managed to get through to Steven about Melina. There was definitely something fishy. Why would she be AWOL for so many years and then suddenly show up just when she ‘heard’ that she had her very own place. There was nothing anyone could say that would make her feel differently. Melina was after something, of that she was sure.

“Earth to Julie,” she heard her boss’ voice. She looked up and smiled at her.

“Hey, Dana,” she greeted wearily. Dana sat down in front of her desk and looked at her.

“Okay, what is it?” she asked. Julie smiled and then took another sip from her cup.

“What makes you think something’s up?”

Dana raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“Everything,” she said.

“Really?” Julie said with a smile. “Enlighten me,” she said leaning back in her seat.

“Well, for starters, you are here way past five," Dana said as she looked at her wrist watch.

“Come on, it’s not that late. It’s only…” she paused to look at the bottom right corner of her computer screen and gasped. “What the hell,” she suddenly exclaimed.

“Told you,” Dana said smiling.

“I thought it was probably around six,” she complained, as she started packing up.

“And that, my dear, is how I know that something’s wrong,” Dana said. Julie shut down her computer and sighed.

“Family issues,” she admitted as she put her laptop bag in the bag. “A whole lot of family issues,” she added and grabbed her handbag.

“Oh, I know all about that,” Dana said laughing. “And they wonder why I never look forward to the holidays,” she added. Julie looked at her and shook her head.

“What? But you and your folks are pretty close, right?” she questioned. Dana smiled and nodded.

“Well, yeah of course. My parents and I are close, my sisters too. The problem comes with the cousins and aunts from my mother’s third cousin twice removed…or whatever they call them,” she said. Julie laughed.

“Boy, don’t I know it,” she said.

“Which one of those are you dealing with?” Dana asked.

“Cousin,” Julie said with a smile.

“Well, all the best. I’m off to dinner with Jared. He has this whole romantic evening planned…I’m excited!” Dana said rubbing her hands together.

“You guys really keep the flame alive in your marriage, don’t you?”

“That’s the only way to survive a marriage,” Dana responded.

“I guess,” Julie said as she got up from her seat. “Maybe I’ll be able to do the same when I get there,” she added as the two walked out of the office.

“What are you talking about? You have a British man. The only way he could be better is if he was part French,” Dana teased. Julie smiled and shrugged.

“Guess you are right,” she agreed. She was all smiles as they got into the elevator. She did have the perfect man. She couldn’t have done better if she tried. “See you tomorrow,” she said when they got to the parking floor.

“Tomorrow,” Dana replied as she got into her car.
