I've looked everywhere.
Julius said you'd left.
I can't believe he escaped without even saying goodbye.
Helena:
Your drunk friend almost kissed me by force.
Jennifer:
Who's Julius? Julius?
Helena:
Himself.
Jennifer:
I didn't know. Are you all right?
Helena:
I am now.
Jennifer:
Where did he go?
Helena:
I'm home now.
Jennifer:
Friend, I'm sorry about that.
Helena:
Let it go.
Jennifer:
Do you want me to go with you to the police or something?
Helena:
You don't have to. Nothing really happened. I'm fine now.
Jennifer:
Are you sure?
Helena:
I do.
I stared at my cell phone, sure that I was telling a lie, but I wasn't going to go into details, especially since my imbalance no longer had to do with Julius but with everything that had happened since.
