Juliette

It had been about a week since that strange incident with the wrong number.

A lot had happened since then,Juliette found work just becoming more and more impossible.

Tonight however, she had gotten off early and was in the middle of cooking dinner for her roommate Tilly and Tilly's girlfriend Astrid.

Juliette's best friend had been doing ballet since she was two years old and was currently a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet. She had auditioned for a major role in Swan Lake and got it.

Jules was beyond proud of her friend and so had offered to treat her and Astrid to dinner.

She had settled on something simple,a chicken lasagna with a greek salad and two wines, Chianti Classico and Pinot Noir.

The baker was making good time to, she already had the lasagna in the oven and the salad ingredients washed and set aside to be prepped and tossed together.

Infact Juliet was just settling down on the sofa to watch something when her phone buzzed.

To her surprise it was a text from the wrong number woman,Taylor. She hadn't actually heard from her since that fateful day in the studio.

The baker had actually quite enjoyed their short conversation and therefore didn't hesitate to open the other woman's text.

Taylor: Suppose one was to accidentally drop four dozen cookies on the floor
and proceed to slip on one...
Hypothetically what would you do?

Juliette held back a laugh that threatened to engulf her.

Juliette: As a person who has been in that hypothetical situation the best way to proceed is to sit down with a glass of wine and cry.

Taylor: Check ✔️

Juliette: four dozen cookies?? What's the occasion? It's not your birthday is it,cause Happy Birthday if so!

Taylor: 😂 Its not my birthday,
I wanted to bake them for fun.

Juliette: You woke up on a random Tuesday and decided to bake four dozen cookies for...FUN?!

Taylor: What can I say 🤷‍♀️ I was bored.

Juliette: Excuse my bluntness...but do you not have a job?!

Taylor: I do...but the hours are very fluid and adjustable to my liking.

Juliette: Ahhh so the opposite to me :)

Taylor: I'm sorry,can I interest you in some smushed cookies to make up for it 🍪

Juliette: No thanks 😰 ive seen enough of those to last me a life time.
