"What did he say?" Jane inquired. The light teasing tone in her voice made me groan internally.
"That he liked me because of who I am," I replied, not hiding the fact that I was disturbed. "At least that was what I think he said. I could be wrong but..."
"Julie, Duncan is nothing like the men you have met," Jane told me.
I could hear the confidence in her voice. Like she knew for certain that no man was like Duncan.
"In a way, I kinda get that," I told her I know I sounded unbelieving, but what the heck! "I'm just weary that's all. Look at me" I exclaimed, I opened my arms wide, indicating my size. "I'm big as a house."
"Did he say that?" she asked back.
"No…but Jane!"
"My dear, dear Julie," Jane said, there was a hopeful tone in her voice, and I could sense that there was also a smile on her lips.
If I were to imagine what she would look like now, I would bet that her eyes were shiny with happiness.
"Duncan is not an ordinary man. He is…what word should I use..."
