139- No Rules, No Dictation

"What happened to you?" Sophie who was singing along with Jenifer Lopez lowered the volume of the car stereo system and asked her.

She had been so happy after leaving that hotel that she was either talking about Joseph or singing loudly during the drive.

"Nothing! Why?"

Sophie looked at her anxiously, "You are not yourself. Did Rafael say something?"

"No! He said nothing,"

"We always sang this song together and today you seem miles away as if you can't hear the singer or me… Did you even listen to what I said about Joseph?" Marissa felt guilty.

Her friend was very close to finding her happiness and she didn't want to make it about herself. All these years it had been about her pain, her kids, her husband, her sister, her heart … and her fate.

And Sophie not only listened to her quite patiently but kept counseling her. 

Today she deserved the same enthusiasm from Marissa.
