One week later
-Hello, Liliana.
-Good morning, Monica. I heard you've recovered.
-Yes. I feel great. Do you know where Christine is? I need to talk to her.
-She is not here.
-How come she isn't?! Did she quit her job?
-No... She flew to Spain, permanently...
-What?!! It can't be!!! She was here... She was telling me about such beautiful dreams... And now... How am I going to admit that I'm madly in love with her? Christine said it first, but I didn't have time to react properly and explain everything!
-I know... She told me about you.
-What did she say?
-She wanted you to be happy without her.
-How can it be happy without her?!!!!
-Christine felt guilty about the incident a week ago. She moved in with her grandmother in Spain.
-But why didn't she tell me?!!
-She didn't want to hurt your feelings.
-I see...
-At least she managed to figure out most of the case! We spent the whole week together analyzing the case of Ben, Isabelle, and Adele.
-Do you know who's the killer?
-No, sadly not yet.
-Oh...
-Would you like to speak to her on the phone? I think she wants to hear your voice, Monica... - I smiled, handing over the phone
-You think so...? - she looked at me with sparkles in her eyes
I nodded my head, - Yes... No one could ever separate you from such a strong friendship, not even death. Now, take the phone...
-Thank you.
-Hi? Who is speaking?
-... - Monica stayed silent, she couldn't;t believe that it was Christine's voice
-Listen!! - Christine shot back angrily, - Are you one of those scam callers?! I'll call the police! I have a lot of work, I can't talk on the phone whenever I want...
-Hi I am... It's me, Monica.
-Monica?!! Is this a prank call?
-Does it look like it?! - she smiled
-I haven't heard your voice in a week...
-That's true... I miss you.
-We are not supposed to talk!! I need to get back to work, bye!
-No! Wait, don't hang up!!
-I'm sorry.
-Well, how did it go?
-Terrible. I won't go into details. All you need to know is that she hates me. Now, can we concentrate on the case and forget about this, please!!
-Ok, Monica.
