August 27th, 2016.

Philippe's photography shop, London, UK.

12 am.

Danielle took another customer's order in the presence of Philippe, who was there if she didn't know something.

Danielle, however, coped, and when everything was taken care of and the client left, Philippe smiled:

— Well done, Dany. I think you deserve a ten minute break.

Danielle thanked him and went to the back room where she had her things. She picked up the salad canister and opened the lid. She picked up a fork and was about to start eating when her phone lit up - she just got an SMS.

Danielle looked longingly at the salad canister, but decided to see who it was. She was sure it was a message from Dante or George. Her smile widened as it turned out to be George.

She had him in dealing as Jack - it was a reference to his father's new name.

Hi darling,

How was your first day at work? Is your new boss giving you a hard time? If so, you know I can take care of it.

Danielle giggled like an excited teenager and texted him back:

It's good. And you how are you? Do you live after yesterday?

It took a few seconds for her to reply again.

I haven't come to my senses yet from the wonderful impressions you gave me. I'm looking forward to our next meeting, because then I'll get you ... and you will see for yourself. Maybe you'll make it out alive.

Danielle blushed, and then she remembered the salad. She shut off the phone, resolving to text George later, and began eating her salad quickly. She hadn't eaten even most of her when she had to go back to work.

Time passed quickly and she had half an hour left before she knew it. Her boss, Philippe, came out of the back door for a cigarette, and she entered the latest data into the computer.

Then the front door swung open, announcing someone's entry. Danielle didn't look up from the monitor screen when she heard a familiar voice:

— Danielle, nice to see you!

The woman looked at the newcomer and saw that it was Fadi Fawaz. He grinned at her broadly, and Danielle forced a smile on herself. It felt weird seeing her current lover's ex-boyfriend who had no idea how George Michael was living now.

—Hi, Fadi. — Danielle tried to be nice, but the strange embarrassment was noticed and Fadi raised an eyebrow. —Haven't seen you for a long time.

—Not that long ago — he said cheerfully. —Funny, because when I got out of Highgate, you started going there.

Danielle bit her lip and Fadi rolled his eyes.

—Honey, George is a great friend, but being a lover is a challenge — he muttered. — It's good that you found a common language and started getting to know each other. He gets along well with women, and if you are actually Dante's twin, you will easily get to difficult George. —He winked at her.— I came to Philippe. Where is he?

—He's gone out for a cigarette — Danielle explained and focused on her work. — Coming soon.

As soon as she said this, Philippe appeared and cheered at the sight of Fadi.
