"How are you doing today?"

"I'm good. How about you?"

"Wonderful."

"Oh yeah? Why is that?"

She grinned and held out her hand. "Jay proposed last night."

"What?!" I asked grabbing her hand.

"He took me out to dinner and then for dessert before we went on a walk in the park."

"I'm so happy for you, Mia." I said hugging her.

"Thanks. Now we just have to find you a man."

"No thank you." I said making her roll her eyes.

Mia and I have been friends ever since I moved here with my aunt two years ago. Mia and her family live next door to us. Mia and Jay have been together for three years and I don't like them together.

Jay isn't right for her. He treats her rather badly but she doesn't think so even though her parents and I agree. The only time I really see her is at work because he doesn't like for her to go out.

We are both in school to become nurses and we also work a little bit at the hospital. We don't do much but we get paid so it's okay.

My day went on and went it was finally to leave I headed for the cafe across the street.

"I'll have your food out in a bit." Aunt Rachel said as she walked by.

"Alright." I said sitting down at my favorite booth.

I was in the middle of eating my food when the door opened and a woman walked in. She was one of the prettiest women I'd ever seen. She had almost platinum blonde hair and light tan skin.

To my surprise, she came over and stopped beside me.

"May I sit with you?" She asked.

"I guess."

She took a seat across of me and smiled. "I'm Juliet."

"Clare."

"I know this is a bit weird but I was wondering if I could speak to you about something."

"Sure but I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick." I lied.

I was going to go get Rachel.

I went to stand but she placed her hand on mine.

"Don't go get Rachel." Juliet said which surprised me.

"How do you know my aunt?"

"I'll explain that in a bit if you'll let me."

I nodded.

"You met a man the other day who called you Scarlett, correct?"

"Yeah. It was weird. How do you know about that?"

"He is a....friend of my husbands."

"You're married? How old are you?"

She chuckled. "I'm 21."
