- He said that we had to celebrate the end of summer with a dance... so we were dancing , then all of a sudden, he stopped, looked at me and he leaned...
- You were dancing, so it was a romantic atmosphere...
- Yes...
- And how did you feel before the kiss, while you were dancing?
- Very close to Terry, very intimate with him...
- And after you slapped each other, what happened?
- He told me he kissed me because he had real feelings for me...
- So if you hadn't slapped him, he would have told you he loved you...
- Oh... so I spoiled Terry's big declaration of love? Great!
- That's ok, Candy. You were surprised, confused... but according to what you're saying now; it was good, wasn't it? You don't have to be ashamed, Candy. It's a normal reaction to like a kiss, especially from the one we love...
- So, he didn't misbehave?
- Candy, if he had asked, you would've said "no" and a kiss is better when it's spontaneous... And if you think about it, it would've sounded weird...
- You're right... but if Terry came in this restaurant now, I won't be ashamed and I would kiss him in front of every body...
- You really love him a lot... Your first love?
- But he's not...
- What?
- My first love... it was Anthony... he died falling from a horse...
- I'm sorry. My first love, married another woman, and my husband is dead...
- I'm sorry
They talked like two old friends during the meal.
- Let's go see Charlotte... my old boss; she took me under her wing when I lost my husband. She adopted me, and helped me start my company. I want to introduce you to her, said Georgie
- Ok, said Candy with a nice smile
They went to see Charlotte at her house. She lived in a very big castle like most of England's high society. Georgie was living with her before, but she ended up buying her own mansion and was living alone. Charlotte was happy to see her daughter, as usual.
- Georgie! Said Charlotte smiling
- Good evening, Charlotte, said Georgie hugging her
- Good evening, little one, what have you got there? A mini you?
- Fascinating, isn't it? The associates thought she was my daughter... It's Candy White Andrew, my new junior assistant...
- "Junior assistant"? Said Charlotte, pleased to meet you
- Pleased to meet you Madam, said Candy with a smile
- Call me Charlotte
- Charlotte, said Candy smiling, can I go see your garden?
- Of course, my child...
Candy went outside in the garden. Georgie stayed with Charlotte
- Where did you find her?
- On a bench, at Hyde park... this morning
- And you hired her, just like that?
- She needed a job and a place to stay...
- Where does she come from? Doesn't she have a family?
- She ran away from St. Paul college
- St. Paul? Oh... I can understand her... the nuns were monsters...
