Lunch (Sarah and JoAnna)

~ Los Angeles ~

Sarah and JoAnna are in a restaurant, catching up during a meal before they go to Mediterranean villa which Jeffrey and JoAnna call home.

"You are not eating much…", JoAnna observed.

"I had a late breakfast." Sarah smiled.

JoAnna raised one eyebrow and observed Sarah. "It seems things are going well on your side." She didn't miss that her sister is almost glowing.

"Yeah. We are doing great." Sarah glanced at her plate in order to avoid JoAnna's questioning gaze. "Are you sure you don't want anything organized for your birthday?"

"Yes. Absolutely." JoAnna nodded. "With everything else coming so close together, I feel that if I have birthday celebration as well it will be too much and my mind will self-destruct. For birthday it will be Jeff and me. Just the two of us. A bit of peace and quiet in the middle of the storm."
