She came after sometime with coffee and sat with me

"I'm sorry about yesterday" I apologized 

I know she doesn't know my fury towards her but I feel the need to apologize 

"Why?" She asked 

"I..." I don't know what to say 

She laughed 

"You are exactly like Drew described, far better than my imagination" she said 

I looked at her confused 

"He said you don't lie"

Oh god! I'm lying recently 

"I do..."

"Its ok out of obligation but you suck at it" 

I don't understand what she is talking and what to say

"I thought you would kill me, thank you for letting me live" she said 

How does she know 

"I love Jason since college" she said 

"What?" I was shocked 

"Henry tried to help me by making Jason jealous so that he would realize his feelings but it didn't work. He thought we were serious and made things bad"

"I'm sorry" i felt bad for her though I'm beyond happy that Henry never loved her

"I'm so happy for you" she said 

"Everyone loves you. I didn't see your family but Drew told. Everyone would die to have such a family. Drew is the only one in touch with me. I know everything about you, what place you hold in every one's heart.

Thank you for bringing back old Drew" she said 

"He is amazing, my one and only friend" I said 

"What about Henry? I know you feel Jason and Judson as brothers" she said 

"Hmm, he is..." should I lie? I can't taint friendship by lying 

"Your loving hubby" she completed for me smiling 

She know? How?

"Anyone can see love between you both. It's surprising that Drew can't see. You are so lucky to get love of your life as your husband" she said 

"How do you know"

"I saw love in your eyes for Henry and anger jealousy when I was with him. Sorry I acted more clingy. I didn't know it would affect you so badly, I didn't mean to" she apologized 

"Please don't, I'm sorry"

"Last night Henry told me about your marriage and the situation you are hiding the truth and asked me to leave from here..."

"I'm so sorry, you don't have to..."

"I came here to see if Jason can see me beyond friend. It hurts me if I stay longer. Take care of yourself. Don't hurt yourself, everything will be fine. 

There is thin line between love and friendship, Henry sees Drew's  friendship as love and Jason sees my love as friendship.

These boys are so dumb" she said 

"I agree" 

"I tried telling Henry about you and Drew... he needs more time but don't worry he will come around" she said 

"Thank you, I feel so happy hearing that. Jason is in guilty mode. He was betrayed in the worst possible way. He needs sometime to come out of it, till then he wouldn't think of love.

 Don't go. Stay in his life, he would realize your love" I said 

"I don't know, it's hurting me" she said 

"You said boys are so dumb. Even Henry is, instead of trying to make Jason jealous he should have helped you propose. The moment Jason thought you are Henry's girlfriend, he would have friend zoned you even if he had feelings for you" I said 

"Maybe... I will go for now. I booked my flight for this afternoon" she said 

"Please don't go, I can't take it thinking it's because of me" I said 

"I like you Jo. I will come back for sure for you if not for that idiot" she said 

"You are staying here for two days and then you can go. Come back for good before my baby comes"

"Ok" she said
