- Here they are, they're all here. Come. - Good morning.
- Can we see him? - He's waiting for you.
He doesn't know how impatient he is.
I'll show you a nice big puppy.
It's not one of them, they're lap dogs.
- We train them. About 50. - And how many do you have?
- And the? - Yes, basically.
He was small when they abandoned him.
-Oh, he's great. - Hey, cool.
- How is it going? -He is one year old.
- One year? - Come, Ulysse.
- Come come. -He is vaccinated,
in good health, he is not dangerous.
-He is beautiful. - Can I have it, dad?
Can I have it, please?
OK, but you'll have to take care of it.
Sure, I promise, I'll take care of it.
Dad?
- Is all this ours? - Yes.
- The forest and the rest too? - Yes, and even further.
- Oh yes? - If you go down there,
- there is a large pond. - Can we go?
Of course yes, we can also take a bath.
- Be careful. - Yes. Come on, come on, come on.
Come come.
I make you an offer. We could do like this...
Ah, look, he found a trick for the scale.
- This is the project. - Excuse me.
- You come. Look. - Yes?
I think we will not hear more talk about the little sister.
Good morning.
I... I'd like a room.
-Are you an adult? - Yes.
-Do you have an identity card? - Yes.
Thanks, I'll be right back.
JEANNE DRAHI-BELLMER, DAUGHTER OF PIERRE DRAHI,
GO BACK TO THE FAMILY HOME
Well.
- Thank you. - Hold on.
- Thank you. - Done.
Do I pay immediately?
-No, you will pay me on departure. - Okay.
No, take it. Take it, it's for you customers.
There is a lot of information, we are in a beautiful region.
Huh, mom?
- The room... thank you. - On the first floor.
How is it going?
- Do you want to eat something? - I arrive.
I was able to interview his father some time before he left us.
It doesn't seem strange to her take his place?
I don't take her place, this has me ...
No, I'm happy to shine the image of my father.
But I think...
the world of publishing has evolved,
- and I want to bring forward new authors. - Yes, I think Jeanne is, like...
I greatly admired her father.
And what I appreciate about Jeanne is that she does everything with the heart.
Your father too
but she brings something new, her youth, her curiosity.
Here, I find that she is a very difficult profession.
Yes, she will take her father's place,
but more than anything she will perpetuate her work with a new ...
a new reading.
And for her instead she will definitely be thrilling
happen to such an important figure?
Yes, but that requires some responsibilities too.
I mean, how can I say...
Sometimes it's like he's a ghost, as if he was here to make me work,
work, work, because that was the watchword.
Yes, I actually grew up like that.
Now let's talk a little of his next novel.
I was wondering how she is coping the continuation of his work
- No. - after being so successful
- Inexorable was a surprise, - with her first novel.
but an author must not think of this, he certainly does not write for ...
- Please. - That's right, he does it because it's vital.
We'll have to seal the ladder. We'll use the service one, okay?
Mom, it's an hour I'm looking for Ulysse, I can't find him.
Paola?
- Yes? -Has he seen the dog?
- No. - Help me look for him, Lucie is in crisis.
Ulysses!
Mom... mom, here it is!
Ulysses!
Ulysses, there you are!
Oh, great. ninety two
-She was on the street, so I went inside. - Oh, thank you.
We avoided a drama.
We just got him, he's uncontrollable.
He's just very young.
- Paola, can you look for my bag? - Yes.
I'd like to give you something.
- No, that's okay, really. - That's right, God forbid.
- No, really, don't worry. - Anyway I'm Jeanne, pleasure.
My daughter is called Lucie and the dog Ulysse.
-Do you want to drink something? - No, thank you.
I'd love to come.
- Do you live near here? - No.
- Even though I was born here. - Thank you.
Then she moved?
When I was younger mine died in a car accident.
I passed from one foster family to another.
- I am sorry. - It does not matter.
I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.
-She returned to her country for a while? - Yes.
Hey!
- Oh, what do you have now? - He does not listen to me.
- Show you how? - Yes.
- We can? - If it's not a nuisance.
- For nothing. - Do you know about dogs?
- Yes I like them. - Yes?
- I'll teach you some tricks, come. - Yes. Now?
Thank you.
- Let's go. - Stopped!
You have to tell him: "Sit down".
- Sitting! Sitting! - Sitting!
How beautiful!
- Do you want to throw it at him? - Yes.
Ready?
Go! Go, doggie!
Bring it! Bring it!
Excellent!
He basically told me that on the three floors the ladder is about to collapse.
So it should be redone the whole structure.
But you don't listen to me anyway.
- It does not matter. - No, I'm listening.
- I was thinking of something. - Yes?
The house is big, isn't it?
I don't have to
to stay in your father's study, I can get another room, so...
- I feel uncomfortable. - I'm glad you're there.
- I feel a bit like a usurper. - I really mean it.
But no, at least that way it's like he stays alive.
It's your place now.
You will like it.
You will write, right?
Of course.
- What's up? - Nothing, it's just that you weigh.
- No, it's not true, I was joking. - You're not funny.
- It was just a joke. No, no, no. - Have I gained weight?
Wait.
- Have you heard? - No.
- Yes, a noise. - Where's the baby?
She sleeps, but she's with the dog, I left the door open.
We see.
Oh no!
It's the fuses, take the dog out.
Come, let's go! Come on! No.
Force.
- Glory, how are you? - Well, good morning.
Good morning, he is very kind and helpful.
Go!
And go!
bring it back!
- Bring it back! As? - Yes, tell him: "Bring it."
Bring it! Yes.
-See, she is learning. - Already.
You come.
Well, I have to go.
- No, please, stay. - It's late.
She worked hard.
- Oh, no... thanks. -No, he worked, that's right.
- You're a good little dog. - Marcel, come here.
- This is Gloria. - Good boy.
Yes? Of course yes.
Dad, look.
Ulysses, paw. Give the paw.
Hey, Ulysse, Ulysse!
Give it to me.
- Look. - Hi, Glory.
- Greetings. - Marcel, Glory.
Look, dad. Give the paw.
- Did you see? Real? - Fantastic.
- It's thanks to Gloria. - So, good.
Thank you.
Well done little dog, well done.
- Dear, Paola's here, it's bath time. - Yes.
- Bye, see you tomorrow. - HI.
Thank you.
So how did it go?
- See you tomorrow? - Agree.
- Until we meet again. - Until we meet again.
Is fantastic.
- Will you take her back? - Yes.
Glory?
Can I take you back, where do you live?
- To the village. - Let's go.
Thank you for the trust you place in me.
It's a real honour.
I like what he does.
-Have you read anything of mine? - Yes.
I love Inexorable.
It is the most beautiful book she has ever read.
Truly?
Thank you.
Have you read the others?
Yes all.
- Gloria, what happened? - It's nothing.
But how nothing? What happened to her?
No, it's just that yesterday...
a man wanted to take my money,
I didn't want to and so he hit me.
- He needs to be examined, let's call someone. - I am fine.
It happened later that Marcel left her at home?
Yes, right after.
It was Gaston Leroux
to entice Agatha Christie to write detective novels.
She read The Mystery of the Yellow Room.
Everyone told her she wouldn't be she capable of writing a detective novel,
but she reading it she said: "I want to try", and became Agatha Christie.
- Yes? But she thinks. - What era was Leroux from?
- I do not remember. - 1930.
When did you start!
- Haven't you thought about retiring? - Retired, am I so decrepit?
- No! - But no, what do you say?
No, as long as the mind is clear and hold up the legs, I continue.
- You're in great shape. - Jacques is a real country doctor,
- like those of yore. - I'm not that old.
Did you know Gloria's parents?
- Am I from here? - They were from here, yes.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- Can I clear the table? - Yes.
Yes, thank you Paula.
Do you always stay in that hotel?
Yes, I don't know anyway just where else to go.
Our house is big,
we could host you here until she finds a solution.
The yellow room is free.
- That's right, what a great idea! - Yes.
- We were just talking about that. - But no, I'll find a solution.
- She's welcome. - It's your best choice.
- It's next to my room. - There is room.
I do not want to bother.
- We proposed it to him. - But no, it's more practical for everyone.
At that time?
- All right thank you. - Optimal.
- Wise decision. - It's decided.
- Welcome, Gloria. - Welcome.
Thank you.
- Thanks for what you're doing. - It is a pleasure.
You have a large window overlooking the park.
Well, it's very bright.
Here is the kitchen
with stove and all.
Here... is the bathroom.
Sheets for the bed I'm in the closet.
For commissions ask Paola,
or ask me for the car.
- And the same for the laundry. - Okay.
- If I talk to you is it a problem? - Not at all.
It's easier.
I too lost my father, not long ago.
- I'm sorry, I didn't know that. - No.
You'll be fine.
- Thank you. - Now settle down.
Glory?
- Yes? I arrive. - Can you come for a moment?
I'm here, in the studio.
Listen, do you have a driver's license?
- Yes. - Perfect.
- Do you mind taking the little one to school? - No not at all.
You are very kind.
Then you will move on to the hotel to settle the bill, and...
How strange, I have no more cash.
- It's not the first time this happens to me. - Lucie told me.
What?
Well, Paula.
What does Paula have to do with it?
Nothing.
Come on tell me.
No, it's just that...
Lucie told me sometimes Paola takes money from wallet.
Thank you.
So... here are the car keys.
Be careful, it's powerful.
And for the hotel,
I give you these.
- Here. - Thank you.
To you.
Ulysses.
Come on, come on.
- The belt. - Yes.
Since I have doubts, I have to fire her.
But ma'am, I've never robbed anyone.
I'm sorry, but I don't know her enough.
But I...
I don't know if I was right to send her away.
She was a dishonest person.
I could ask Gloria to take care of the baby?
And why this idea?
I'll go to Barbier's for two days, he's been pestering us with her book.
Ask him too, yes.
Ah, the seamstress is coming tomorrow for Lucie's birthday dress.
Agree.
Tell me something nice.
I love you.
Here you are.
- But look, it's magnificent! - I don't like.
How do you not like it? It's gorgeous, isn't it?
- Woh. - I want this.
That too is very nice.
Yes, but I don't think so that mother of hers would agree.
- Mom isn't here, let's take them both. - Wait.
- Excuse me. - Please.
Why...
red is...
This is cute.
- This is big. - It's big.
- But it's beautiful, isn't it, Gloria? - Very nice.
You wear it for my birthday.
Yes, that's a great idea. Do you have a birthday suit?
- No. - Would you like to try it?
Yeah, come on, that's a great idea.
- Follow me, come with me. - Okay.
- Thank you Madam. - Please.
Come.
It's beautiful, this blue. The seamstress was very good.
- What's up? - Take them both.
You are very beautiful.
- Are you Hot? - No, I'm fine, thanks.
It's not very hot today.
Let's hope Ulysse doesn't end up in the lake.
He doesn't fall into the water, he's very smart.
- Are you okay, Gloria? - Yes.
- Wait. - Yes.
- Dad! Stop, stop! - Wait!
Wait... listen.
Where are the crabs?
I am the greatest of predators.
- Gloria, aren't you taking a bath? - I'm fine here.
Everybody take a bath!
Dad!
If I gave him a piece of sausage would he eat it?
- Perhaps. - He doesn't eat sausages, no.
No.
But maybe...
He ate it ... oh, no.
He liked her.
Wait, don't move.
Thank you.
Here you are.
What if we did it with you?
If we take you out, put your head in the water,
- and we offered you some sausages? - Alright then.
I'd say he liked it.
Are you okay, Gloria?
I have never seen anything so beautiful.
Lucie fell asleep.
- Do I turn off the lights going up? - No.
Do you want some wine?
- I do not want to bother. - Ninth.
- I'll get you a glass. - Agree.
She's impressive, huh?
- Yes. - Do you like it here?
Yes a lot.
Who is she?
She is Jeanne's grandmother.
-She is beautiful. - Oh yes.
Nice character.
Antoinette.
A woman of great intelligence, of great beauty.
She had the misfortune to come across
into a greedy guy, a cynical guy.
What would she be like?
An ambitious, handsome boy.
He took advantage of her, he made a career in the rexist regime.
I don't think you know rexism.
- No. -You are the equivalent of fascism in Belgium.
In the 30's she was very lucky,
and she literally became Léon Degrelle's trusted man,
the equivalent of Hitler, basically.
After her he squandered her fortune and betrayed Degrelle.
In '44 she felt the wind change and fled like a coward.
And Antoinette?
She was arrested for high treason and condemned,
she let herself die of heartbreak in prison.
I know, it sounds very romantic, but...
nowadays nobody dies heartbreak, don't be afraid.
Jeanne told me about her parents, she is really terrible.
Happens, it's been a long time.
Why did I mention it?
It does not concern me.
- Excuse me. - Yes a bit'.
As?
After the accident I have read your book a hundred times.
She saved me a bit.
Thank you.
- May I ask you a question? - Of course.
Let's talk to you, of course you can.
Have you been writing for a long time?
Seven years... that is, since I was seven years old.
- Did you write novels when you were seven years old? - No.
No, of the letters, I wrote to my mother.
I wrote her letters to which she never replied.
And so... I made up some answers.
- And then... - But where is your mother now?
I have only one family.
Jeanne and my daughter.
How did you meet Jeanne?
Excuse me.
Well, at the time...
I had written my first book and nobody wanted it, so...
I had to do many jobs, I worked in a bistro,
and one day Jeanne came in.
She worked for her father at the time, who was editor.
We met again and later she posted…
Inexorable.
Inexorable, yes.
Excuse me.
Yes?
How are you dear?
No, no, no.
No.
MARCEL BELLMER INEXORABLE
TO JEANNE
What is this?
- Well, it's a little sun. - Smile.
As?
She is the mother, come.
Come, Ulysses.
Mom!
- My love, darling! - Mom!
- How is it going? Did you have fun? - Well.
- Yes. - Yes?
- I'll take it. - Isn't that heavy?
- Good morning, Glory. Everything OK? - Good morning. Yes, all good.
Pretty dress.
-Is he in his study? - I believe.
Gloria, I spoke yesterday with Marcel on the phone,
and we would like to offer you to work for us full time.
- Yes, all right, yes. - Really?
- Great, thank you very much. - OK thank you.
- We took a bath, dad too. - Yes?
When he got off the boat looked like a lizard.
- Really? - We found some crabs, not many.
And then we put them back in the water.
The dress?
- Tell me. - I do not like it much.
I want to wear the red one.
No, you will wear the blue one.
But Gloria and Dad think too that the red one is more beautiful.
But we had already decided that you will wear the blue one.
- Okay. - Agree.
By the way, have you seen Gloria's dress?
-She's beautiful, huh? - Yes.
Dad gave it to her.
- Oh yes? -For her to wear it on my birthday.
- Very nice. - I find her beautiful.
Yes, she is very pretty.
When I grow up I would like to be like her.
- Oh yes? - Yes.
If I ask her to be my sister, would she say yes?
I'm sure she would like it.
- Fuses again. - Okay.
It happens in old houses.
- Sleep now, sweet dreams. - Hello Mom.
- Shall I leave you the dog? - Yes.
Good night.
Near the end was that beautiful quote which I cared so much.
A bit of an ode to life, even though she is so far away from me.
You too appreciated it.
Are you coming, dear?
I arrive.
- Gloria, good evening. - Good evening.
Good night.
I'll take it.
If you quit smoking I would no longer have that smell.
Maybe I should learn to smoke...
- cigarettes that... - Stop talking to yourself.
Cigarettes that don't...
Like this one, for example.
- Oh, no, I have... - Ninth.
I love when you smell like cigarettes.
I get turned on when you smell like cigarettes.
- Really? - Yes.
- Tell me again. - Kiss Me.
Kiss Me.
- You want me? - Yes, I want you to kiss me.
- Do you want me to kiss you? - Yes.
Wait.
- You surprised me. - Yes?
- Wait. - Do you want me to do something?
- Say that. Yes. - Let me see your breasts.
Wait.
Wait. OK Go.
No.
- What's up? - Wait wait.
- What's up? Why? - Stop that.
It does not work.
Ninth.
I'm too distracted.
- Excuse me. - Ninth.
It does not matter.
Do you want me to do something?
What would you like?
Don't, please.
- Don't do what? - Do not do that.
- I mean, it happens to everyone. - Of course, it's normal, sometimes it happens.
Is not serious.
I'm not taking it.
Surprised me, that's all.
She surprised me.
Do you want juice?
Yes, gladly.
Thank you.
- Did you like going to school as a child? - No, do you like it?
I get bored.
I have no friends here.
It's normal, you don't know any yet.
- Are you done with the butter? - Yes.
- Everything OK? - Yes.
Safe?
Girls, you're getting late.
-She has stained her dress. - Did you make a birthday list?
- No. - You have to do it or no one will come.
- I don't have any friends anyway. - This is the right opportunity.
You can invite the whole class.
- And could I do a show? - Yes, certainly.
- We'll have a nice party. - Yes?
Huh, Glory?
What are you doing?
- I got dirty. - You can't work in a dress like that.
Change yourself.
Come on, don't be late.
"We'll have a nice party. Eh, Gloria?"
Look, I have a friend at city hall.
You know that theater I showed you to?
He would like to invite you to do a reading.
- No never mind. - Let me finish, it's a nice theatre.
- No, that would be in bad taste. - But no, I proposed it to you.
And then it would be you reading, that would be classy.
Ah, would I read?
I haven't done it in a long time.
And then read very well.
Glory!
Don't stand there, clean up!
No, no, no, no.
No, so you burn yourself, I do.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Is not serious.
I'll take care of it, go.
Excuse me.
Good night.
- That's not how you talk to people. - But she's so clumsy.
No, that's not how you talk to people.
- He's young, you... - Give me the plate.
- I don't want them, I don't want them. - Eat the green beans, eat them.
- Dad doesn't eat them either. - Dad eats them too.
Don't talk to me like that, give me the plate.
Dad eats them too, come on.
Twice. Coffee this morning, now the pan. Please.
I don't understand, you...
- What? - Nothing, it's just that I...
Glory? What happens?
Wait, Gloria, wait!
Glory, what's going on?
Wait, talk to me.
What's up? What happens?
- It's Jeanne. - Jeanne?
For the baking dish? Is not serious.
She is mean to me.
You do what he asks of you and she will leave you alone.
"There is a way to understand love,
without becoming the one who loves?
The man told himself that he loved for the first time."
But it's my book, do you know it by heart?
No!
No, no, that's not good.
No.
Yes?
I want to apologize.
You don't say: "I want to apologize",
it says, "My apologies."
For a publisher's daughter, that's the bare minimum.
- My apologies. - Ok, well, I accept them.
I don't know why... I was stupid.
You don't look happy to me.
Neither happy nor unhappy.
I let you work.
Wait!
Wait.
There are a lot of things you have to make up for it, right?
- I would not know. - You have to make up for many things, you know.
- How will you make it up to you? As? - I don't know, I don't know.
- You're a whore, aren't you? - I would not know.
- Would you like to be a whore? - I would not know.
Would you like to be a whore? At that time?
- I want to be your whore. - Of course you want to be a whore.
A little bitch who spreads her legs.
Let's see if you're wet.
- You'll get wet because you're a whore. - Oh yes.
My show will be amazing.
Will you help me?
Yes, but it depends.
From what?
Well, it depends if your mother she will ask me to leave.
Why should she ask you?
It is a bit complicated,
but I don't think she likes me very much.
But no, that's not possible.
I asked her if you could become my sister and she said yes.
- I swear she likes you a lot. Yes. - Really?
But do you want?
- Being your sister? - Yes.
But yeah, sure.
When the show starts go towards the audience, understand?
And then the music starts,
then the music increases,
and so you transform yourself.
- You can turn into whatever you want. - Yes.
You start like this, come in and do like this.
Come on, even stronger.
And then you start walking again, you get closer people and look them in the eye.
Marcel?
I'm very sorry.
For yesterday.
No, it's my fault.
- Calm. - You don't want to talk to me anymore?
- No me... - Is it because I no longer have the dress?
- What? Which dress? - It was Jeanne who forced me.
Marcel?
Wait, wait, wait.
No, stay, stay.
- Stay, stay. - No, I can not.
- Marcel? - I can't, I can't.
Shit.
I want you to leave this house now.
Did you understand?
Did you understand what I said? Did you see what you did to me?
- Yes, but I will stay. - Ninth.
If you talk to Jeanne, she will tell her that you kissed me.
- He won't believe you, you know? - I'll tell her about the letters.
The letters?
What letters?
I'm sure Harry will save the ladder.
And then, the estimate that he sent me is not bad.
Anyway, we have dinner together on Friday evening.
You come?
He made me tired.
Harry, Harry, Harry.
He made me tired.
What's wrong with you?
I wonder what you see in him.
Not sure if he's competent.
- Think about the book, not this bullshit. - Oh, no.
- What? It is not true. - It's a low blow.
What have you got there?
- Nothing, it's nothing. - Like nothing, there is blood.
- Shit, what's on your neck? - Nothing, it's a little...
Does it hurt?
- Wait, but how did you do it? - It's nothing.
- Come on, tell me what happened. - I was bitten.
- Ulysse bit me. - What? Did Ulysse bite you?
- When? - During the walk,
I wanted to push him away because there was a female, but the dogs must not be separated.
-He bit me, did he pinch me? - On the neck?
I ducked.
I reached down to separate them and that's it.
And you leave the dog with the baby?
- What do you do? - Nothing, honey, sleep.
Gloria, it's me, open up.
Glory, listen to me...
it was a misunderstanding, I was intrusive.
Please forgive me.
Open the door. Open the fucking door!
Give me back the letters.
Give them back to me.
- We have to part with him. - What?
- Yes, honey, I know. - Jeanne.
- What are you saying? - I am sorry.
Dad, what is this story? Did he bite you? It's not possible, Ulysse never bites.
But honey, it was an accident.
- Agree? - A dog that bites can do it again.
- Mom, my dog doesn't bite, I know. - Marcel, tell him.
Why do you say that, dad?
- Ulysse doesn't bite, it's not possible. - I... it won't happen again, really.
I scared him, that's all.
- You must be brave, my baby. - You can't do this.
-It's not fair, I know that he didn't bite him. - Marcel, call the vet.
No... no, no, you have to be rational.
Call the vet for what?
- Go find Gloria. Go. - My dog has never bitten anyone.
Go find Gloria.
If something happens to her I will hold you responsible.
And what do you want to do? Do you want to euthanize the dog?
I want to avert the danger, Seems sensible to me, doesn't it?
Gloria, I want the dog to carry always a muzzle.
- What? - Okay?
- Clear? Always, sure. - Always?
Agree.
- What you do is unfair. - End of conversation, thank you.
Mom, he didn't bite him.
I know my dog he has never bitten anyone.
Good.
- Shall I put it on? - Yes.

JEANNE DRAHI-BELLMER, PIERRE'S DAUGHTER DRAHI, GO BACK TO THE FAMILY HOME
Jeanne.

where exactly did you meet her?
- Glory? - Yes, Glory.
Where did you meet her? What do you know about her?
-But what about her? - Really, what do you know about her?
- I do not know. Calm down, what's wrong with you? -Where is she from?
You asked me a question give me time to answer you!

Oh no.
Glory!

WHY ONE DAY MAY YOU UNDERSTAND LOVE,
YOU WILL NEED THAT FIRST YOU BECOME THE ONE WHO LOVES.
- Who gave you the letters? - Whose are they?
They're mine, give them back to me.
What are?
- Nothing... it's a youthful love. - Who wrote them?
A youthful love?
1995, we were together in '95.
- I met you later. - Who wrote them?
The break up...
she was very badly lived from that girl.
She kept texting me,
- I only kept them for sentimentality. - What happened to her?
She died… she died, she committed suicide.
Give them back to me, give them back to me.
- Give them to me. - Let me read this fucking letter.
"Because one day you can understand love,
it will be necessary that first you become the one who loves."
This is Inexorable.
You've never written anything you lied to me from the start.
You haven't written a line in that book shit that you even dedicated to me.
You never wrote anything!
You've been fucking lying to me for 25 years!
- You've been lying to me for 25 years! - Honey, listen to me.
- Take it easy. - Shut up, you've told too many lies, asshole!
I beg.
Gloria wants to destroy our lives.
Think about it, she looks what she did.
It is Gloria who did all this. Why did she leave you these letters?
I'm sorry.
I beg you... forgive me.
Tomorrow is the little girl's birthday.
After that, I want you to leave.
- So it's over? - Get out.
Dad?
- What are you doing? What is that? - No, listen to me, listen to me.
I had a fight with mom, okay?
I'll go away for a while, it's better.
- But I won't be far, okay? - Can I come with you?
No.
No, my angel, no.
Dad?
Did Ulysse really bite you? Did he really do it?
No.
-He didn't bite you. - No.
Oh, but... hey!
Look, mom.
Hey.
So, did you hire her?
- As? - The young woman who was looking for the other day.
He was supposed to see her this morning, perky in her dress.
I asked her: "Did she make herself so beautiful for me?"
I made mom laugh.
She then she said that she was leaving for a vacation,
going to pick up her little sister to go on vacation together.
But this he already knows.
Wait, hey!
Answer, answer, answer, answer.

- Are you sure? Really? - Yes come.
Let's take mom's car, we will do it faster.
Come on, we have to hurry.
Lucie, come.
