Holly got Jule's text just as she'd sent off her last to Alexander. She was filled with dread and yet hope and her warring emotions came to a screeching halt in her head as she read the text from her best friend. Have faith, it said. She took a deep breath and tried to slow her heartbeat as she texted Jules back.
He said he loves me, Jules, he's on his way here now, I think. I'm terrified. But I want to believe him. I'll let you know how it goes, thank you, so much, lovely.
