Ariana was spellbound by the name for a moment. Something felt so surreal within herself that felt at peace all of a sudden.
"Phoenix" she repeated. The name just rolled from her mouth so easily that even Julianna sensed the delight in her tone.
With an amusing look, Julianna leaned to the side resting her elbow on the wooden armrest of the bench, and stared at Ariana.
" You seem to like her name a lot?" she asked breaking her trance.
Ariana couldn't help but smile. Giving her an agreeing nod she expressed," I don't know why but, I just felt so connected to her somehow"
"How could you not? If you see from my eyes, you and my mother seem to be alike" The word just flowed from her lips naturally. It was also a reason why Julianna never wanted to break her friendship with Ariana. She reminded her of her mother to her somehow.
"Huh" baffled the smile on her face faltered a little but soon she let out a chuckle awkwardly.
