"I'm all ready," she said. "I've talked with Erin at least a dozen times, and I can say I know her better than anyone else in the world, except for herself. I've looked over the script countless times, and I could even recite it backward from the last page to the first..."
"Really? Then please recite the third paragraph from the last page," but before Julia could finish speaking, Adrian interrupted her with a serious yet surprised expression that left Julia, who was glaring at him, momentarily at a loss for words. Small Emma, who was flipping through the script beside them, couldn't help but lower her head, hiding her face behind the document and shrugging her shoulders with a giggle.
"Alright, we'll talk about that later. Please continue," Adrian said quickly, making a 'please go on' gesture to change the subject as he saw Julia's expression growing worse.
