"Really?"
Elle's eyes rounded when she heard what her friend had said on the other line.
"Of course!," her friend's reply indignantly.
She can imagined Joy rolling her eyes. She sounded amused which is unusual to her because she is known as the "Ice Queen" in the runway. She is a model by profession.
"Thank you, friend!," exclaimed Elle.
Joy knew that she's looking for a vacation house to unwind and refresh her mind. Her work worn her out. She needs respite and Joy offered her vacation house somewhere in Quezon. A place that is perfect for her plans of resting.
"Welcome! Anyway, that house needs a visitor. Its been years since it was inhabited," said Joy.
"I wonder if there's a ghost." she teased her.
Joy scoffed, "If I know, I'm sure it would be a delight to you. More spice in your stories hmmm....
Elle feigned horror. "Excuse me! The last time I checked, I'm a romance novel writer not a horror geek."
She heard her laughed.
"You can make a love story about ghost and human."
She can almost hear the restrained laugh that she's been holding. Joy is really as cold as ice as well as her imagination.
She grimaced. "I want a warm blooded male in my stories, Joy. A happy ending not a morbid one.
"You're living in your novel, Elle. There's no forever. We both have experienced that," she commented dryly.
"There's still hope. We both know that Yum is happily married to the man she loved."
"She's lucky she met Yoichi."
She can hear the solemn sigh of her friend.
