- Hi Elle - I stared motionlessly at the display

- Fuck. - I finally thought, I didn't write him back, I dialed Liv's number.

- I need you - I said to her in an uneasy voice

- What happened

- ghosts of the past - I said mysteriously, but she knew.

- You're kidding me

- Oh, I would like to

- Ok, I'm coming home, I'll buy wine, don't write back to him

- I wasn't going to

- Good girl, I'll be in a while - She said, and we disconnected the phone connection

I lay down on the bed and blindly looked at the ceiling, after 20 minutes I heard the sound of a twisted key in the door lock

- Emanuelle - I heard Liv call me from the hallway

- I'm coming - I went into the kitchen, there were two glasses of wine on the table, Liv was already sitting at the table

- Knowing him, he wrote to you something like "Hey Elle" - I laughed - Looking at you laugh I am right

- Yes
- what do you want to write him back?

- I do not know

- Do you want to even write back to him?

- I do not know - I said honestly

- Let's have some wine - Liv said, pouring wine into my glass

- this is a good idea

When I was finishing my first glass of wine my phone started ringing, I hesitantly raised it, fearing that this was another attempt to contact me even though I didn't answer the message. When I saw Philip calling, I immediately smiled.

- Hi

- Hey beautiful, I'm sorry I had a very hard day today but maybe we can eat together
on Thursday if you can afford to spend some time with me - Philip said it all in one breath

- And what we will eat for this supper?

- I can cook something, we can cook something together or just order pizza

- Trying to cook together sounds tempting but maybe we will focus on pizza this time

- Your wish is my command, Should I come for you?

- If you can - I answered honestly

- Now another question

- I am listening

- Maybe you could stay overnight? - he asked shyly

- You don't beat around the bush

- Hey I'm honest with you
