"What do you two want?" The waitress with the small book walked over to the small round table.
"Two cups of cappuccino." The two women sitting in front of the round table said almost in unison. They looked at each other for a while, and then parted uncomfortably.
"Do you need any refreshments?" The waitress memorized something in the notebook casually.
"Raisin muffins." They said in unison again, looked at each other again, and parted uncomfortably again.
"Anything else?" The waitress continued to write and draw on the notebook.
"That's it." They still said in unison, almost the same tone and pause. No matter how calm the waitress was, she couldn't help but stared at them curiously. The two women in front of her still looked at each other and then parted uncomfortably.
Of course, the waitress didn't ask any questions, she smiled and turned away. The small table suddenly became quiet, and the two women were doing little things absent-mindedly, even though the coffee and snacks were brought in, they didn't change until they both reached out for the cinnamon powder.
The two hands touched everything, and the movements were very tacit. The two looked at each other awkwardly again, and then the older woman moved out and laughed softly, and the younger woman also covered it. corner of the mouth. After such a low laugh, although the two still did not speak, the atmosphere between them was much better.
"Your feet... are you okay?" Kate suddenly asked after stirring the coffee for a while.
"It's no big deal, it's just a slight swell, and you'll be fine after a rest." Angela replied quickly.
Although the two smiled thoughtfully, they thought of the previous things in unison.
At that moment, time seemed to stop flowing, and the two people on both sides of the street just stared at each other and forgot the things around them. Then, Kate suddenly turned around and hurried away in the opposite direction. Angela, who was sitting on the bench clutching her ankle, jumped up and followed.
Angela grinned for a while as soon as her feet landed on the ground due to her unsteady center of gravity, but she couldn't hold back so much pain and rushed across the street. For this reason, she was almost hit by an oncoming car, but fortunately, the other party stepped on the brakes in time. Even so, Angela was still taken aback, but she didn't stop, made an apologetic gesture to the angry driver, jumped after Kate and grabbed her arm.
Kate, who didn't see Angela's actions, shook her arms and stepped faster and bigger, but how could Angela, who grabbed her, let go, even if her ankle was still in pain, she still followed her pace.
After walking through several streets in this way, Kate stopped as if giving up, and turned her head to look a little annoyed, but then her expression became strange. While panting in front of herself, Angela didn't say anything and just looked at herself with a hopeful prayer, but she still saw what the other party was holding back with gritted teeth.
When her eyes fell on Angela's right foot, which stood on tiptoe unnaturally, a trace of clarity flashed through Kate's eyes. Although she didn't say anything, her body trembled imperceptibly.
"You... are you okay?" she asked while looking at the other side biting her lip.
"It's... It's okay." Angela replied in a low voice, her hand on Kate's arm tightened.
Kate glanced around and sighed softly, "Let's sit down at the cafe over there first."
After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally took Angela's arm.
"It's been... 20 years." Kate, who was stirring the coffee, suddenly spoke again.
Angela, who was also stirring the coffee, couldn't help but paused, then nodded slightly: "Yeah, it's been 20 years, time has passed so fast... But I still remember the original things very clearly, just like it happened yesterday. "
"Me too." Staring at the coffee cup in her hand, a smile appeared on Kate's mouth. "You were a little, cute and beautiful, like a small Barbie doll."
"Hey, can I use that word?" Angela raised her head in dissatisfaction, "I don't even use a man woman."
"That's because you didn't have time to use it." Kate raised her eyebrows.
"Really? I still don't know that you can predict the future." Angela snorted with her nostrils turned to the sky.
"What," Kate took a leisurely sip of coffee, "didn't you use that word just now?"
"Hey, I'm giving an example, don't you know what an example is?" Angela gritted her teeth, "You always do this, after muddying the water, you blame me and say I'm the one who started the dispute! "
"Really, why does it sound like the opposite?" Kate narrowed her eyes.
"Don't try to be rude, I remember very clearly, that time you played strong hand chess like this, always going around saying that I lost, and then taking this opportunity to pinch my face." Angela said angrily while holding her chin. .
"That time," Kate thought for a while, and then looked at Angela with some surprise, "you remember it clearly. Well, I admit that I cheated at that time, but who made your face at that time? Is the meat so easy to pinch?"
"Look, look, it's pushed on my head again," Angela said angrily.
"Barbie dolls, every girl will have their own favorite Barbie dolls."
"Don't forget that you were still a man woman at that time, and man woman also likes to play with Barbie dolls?!"
In this way, the two of you talked about the past events that had settled in the depths of memory, and laughed softly when talking about interesting places, as if all kinds of things in the past three years did not exist at all.
"Do you remember that time?" Angela suddenly thought of something, and the smile on her face decreased a lot. "The first time you came to our house, it should be said that it was when you went to your grandfather's house. Although I just turned five years old at that time. , although you were very restrained and polite at the time, I still felt the awkwardness in your heart."
Kate was silent for a moment and then sighed: "Because... I think you lied to me, you never told me that you were the granddaughter of the old Duke Albert. Of course, I admit there was a sense of inferiority at the time, but... "
"I know, I understand," Angela interrupted, pinching her hand on the small round table, "but I'm afraid, I don't know why, but I'm very, very afraid of losing you."
"I know, too," Kate looked out the window, her voice becoming ethereal, "you kept saying sorry when you sent me back, that timid appearance I can recall now..."
Speaking of which, the corners of her mouth were upturned, as if she wanted to laugh, but it was more of a helpless sadness.
Suddenly, Angela grabbed her hand: "Kate, I'm sorry."
She looked at her, biting her lips tightly, her eyes flashing brightly: "I'm sorry, I know that no matter what I do, I can't make up for the hurt I've done to you, but... I'm sorry, Kate... "
Kate moved her fingers and held Angela's hand, stared at her for a long time and then let out a long breath: "More than half a month ago, Joe and... another woman found me and told me a lot of things, a lot about your business."
"Joe?" Angela looked puzzled, "what can she say?"
"Actually, Joe's role is to keep me calm, mainly because another person is talking." Kate turned her head over and stroked her lips lightly. "It's mainly Rachel talking."
"Lei... Rachel..." Angela suddenly tightened her body, not only her face became strange, but her breathing also became rapid.
Perhaps feeling the change in her mood, Kate held her hand tightly, trying her best to say in a calm tone: "She told me a lot, including all kinds of entanglements between you."
"Speaking a lot..." Angela pursed her lips, daring to look at Kate with her head lowered.
"If it was before, I would definitely be very angry and kick her out..." Kate said here after a long pause, and she closed her eyes as if very uncomfortable.
"She told me...you miss me because...because she can feel...feel that you are chasing my breath in her, just like she is in you..." Kate opened her eyes and smiled sadly Looking at Angela, "But I know she's only telling half the truth, because I can see how she feels about you."
"Kate, if you can..." Angela, who kept her head down, covered her chest.
"Since you have done it, you should face it." Kate's tone became light.
"I know, but... I'm sorry..." Angela finally raised her head, her emerald eyes filled with unspeakable sadness, "I'm sorry, Kate, I can only... I can only say this... "
Kate nodded and shook his head: "Although I still feel unspeakable sadness after listening to her story, I finally understand how I feel - I'm sad, I've always been sad, every time I think of your deception, Every time I see your scandal, and every time I meet you, I feel very, very sad, and it may erupt like a volcano at any time. However, when I listened to Joe and Rachel talking about your past few years, I There is a sadness and regret that I have never had before, and I finally understand that I am sad because I still care about you very, very much."
Angela bit her lip tightly, and despite the pain in her chest, she still looked at Kate's eyes.
"But I don't know... I don't know how to deal with it, Angie," Kate said sadly. "I don't know."
She said and suddenly withdrew her hand, stood up and walked quickly to the door of the cafe, not knowing what to do. As soon as she arrived at the door, a body suddenly slammed into her back heavily, followed by a pair of arms stretched out from behind and tightly wrapped around her waist.
For a while, the originally lively cafe suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the strange pair of women at the door.
"I don't ask you to love me anymore, but please forgive me at least!" A voice echoed in the cafe.
