Day 2





It was already their second day together, and so far, Julietta seemed to turn out satisfyingly receptive, hence Iris's slight trace of excitement,
"So...let's start, shall we?" She nicely asked, giving the blonde a warm smile.

"Yeah, I guess..." She answered unsure as she looked at Iris with a slight trace of skepticism, sitting in the middle of her bed, in a yoga position.

Iris gave a small nod, then started casually pacing around, as she said,
"Ok. Let's focus on the main problem-"

"Why?" The girl suddenly interrupted her, staring up at her with an obvious trace of dissapointment, as she abruptly stopped, now standing in front of her bed.

"Excuse me?" Iris rose one eyebrow, now staring at the blonde obviously confused.

Letta let out a sigh, lowering her eyes on her lap, as she reluctantly answered,
"What's the point? You won't believe me anyway..."

Iris stood there in silence for a brief moment, wondering why would Letta say such thing, before she confidently answered,
"Try me."

Letta's light green irises now quickly trailed back up towards Iris, staring at her a little unsure, and somehow afraid -which made Iris question what was going on through that pretty little head of hers, before she slowly nodded,
"Ok."

She then took in a deep breath, nervously fiddling with the hem of her simple black t-shirt, and in a quiet, but serious tone, she finally said,
"I see dead people."




Iris's eyes slightly widened, staring at Letta a little taken aback by that answer -which was pretty understandable by the way- but she surely wasn't going to just give up the fight that easily, so with a calm, gentle tone, she finally answered,
"Ok...Maybe you could show me sometimes."

Now it was Letta's turn to stare at her, shocked, after that answer. No one has ever even tried to listen to her, let alone believe her.

So with a quick movement, she jumped right off that bed, and crushed Iris in a tight hug, feeling a small, stray tear at the corner of her eyes, as she quietly said,
"Thank you."

Iris simply smiled, wrapping her arms around the blonde's small frame, satisfied for the small progress.
