I have been dealt a new hand and have had to learn to play accordingly." I said hotly. "I have to say though, you've been a real help." She smiled and... reached out and put her hand on my knee."You've turned out to be a very pretty girl though." she said."Thank you." I replied, noticing that the hand hadn't left my knee and now was stroking it gently.I didn't know what to do about that. I had that sense of déjà vu and a sense of helplessness as well. I really didn't have much 'self' about me when. She wasn't there. Not for Julie's sweet sixteen, not for her graduation, not even now. I had forgiven her for it all, at Julies bequest, but not this. Julie would forgive her, I was sure, but not me, there was no forgiveness left inside of me. I dropped the ring. It struck the casket and rolled, circling around to a stop directly over Julie's heart. "Let Donna seek forgiveness here." I whispered, "From me she would find none. Not any more." I knew I should wait and greet those who had come,. I asked everyone to let’s go to our apartment and get drunk & party there since it was overly crowded. Everyone agreed, we called out for taxi and reached our apartment.Shweta & Nikita couldn’t walk properly because they had the good share of vodka shots & because they had drunk so much they had quietly opened up. Taking this as an opportunity Rahul made a smart move. He said, let’s all play truth & dare. Now that’s when the game changed.Rahul rolled the beer bottle and It pointed out to. He came up behind her, placed his hands loosely on her shoulders and kissed her cheek."Good morning, Becca my dear." Good morning, Uncle Steven." She smiled at him. It was a genuine, friendly smile and he was delighted. "Do you want some cereal first or shall I cook your egg now?" Now please." Two minutes. The coffee's just made." Thanks, Becca. You're very organised this morning." Well, the alarm clock worked. Crikey, it doesn't half have a loud click and the alarm probably set the fire.
