"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

The days of shooting began to run as fast as Fanny's heartbeat every time she saw Catherine, soon October 22 fell on them and with it, Catherine's birthday.

Catherine decided that if you're lucky enough to be alive, you should use each birthday to celebrate what your life is about. And this birthday, her life in this moment, was to celebrate love.

The dress was beautiful. Admiring drove Catherine over the royal blue. She felt cool and smooth and shimmered in the light as she turned in front of the mirror. The fabric clung to her body as as if it were a gift from the Greek gods, 'a gift from Sappho perhaps', she thought amused.

Catherine smiled as the door opened. - "The dress is simply glorious."

"Make no mistake my love, you're the glorious one" - Fanny said, stepping behind Catherine. Their eyes met in the mirror. - "I saw it and knew it was for you." - She leaned down and kissed Catherine's neck.

Her hands clung to Catherine's hips as her lips moved up her throat and gently caressed her earlobe. - "Happy birthday, my angel."

"You promised me oysters" - Catherine recalled and sighed in the next moment.

"It's a shame you insist on it" - Mumbled Fanny, drawing small circles on the silky fabric with her fingers. - "And besides, it's very cruel of you to look like that and at the same time to expect me to play only your co-worker in front of the world. You know that oysters are ascribed an aphrodisiac effect, are not they? "

"I promise you, as soon as we're back, you can continue where we left... And you've only have to play the co-worker till I talk to my kids, and so you should with your girls"

Fanny raised her hands in surrender. - "I know, I just want the world to know that you are mine."

"Competition can be just as strong a magnet as passion."

"And hatred as strong a feeling as love."

"We already talked about it, Isabelle does not hate you. She is not a human for hate."

"Fine, but still, when I look at her and imagine how she went to bed with you... That does not make it easier."

Catherine chuckled. - "Jealousy is yours, dear."

"Do not make fun of it."

"If I can stand Emmanuelle, you can probably stand Isabelle, too."

"I did not sleep with Emmanuelle."

"No. But when I see the glances between you two, I still catch myself in strange fits of possessive thinking."

Fanny smiled. - "Fine, we're even."
