"She is my best friend. I love her as much as I love myself but you know friends do quarrel and disagree on things no matter their closeness. But I don't want to talk about her or what caused our disagreement," Gabrielle's reply made Charlie who has started walking towards their direction stop in his track.
"But....,"
"Jack, I appreciate that you are concerned about me but please let this one pass because I don't want to talk about that mean girl. I hate her right now," Gabrielle's put an end to this particular discussion with her last sentence.
Jacky was disappointed but she masked her disappointment perfectly.
"If you don't want to talk about her then I won't force you. I will accompany you to drink to show my love but don't forget that I am always available if you need a shoulder to lean on," Jacky replied in a soft tone.
"Thank you," Gabrielle said. She refill her glass and gulped down the entire whiskey in the glass.
