“But Arnold, I love you!” the girl shouted in despair. “Let’s go together! I’m ready to give up everything for you!”

“It’s not right, Lucy,” the man hugged his beloved woman. “Wait a little, I will settle down my problems and in a few months, I will definitely pick you up. The main thing – wait!”

“Of course, I will wait for you, my dear!” Lucy kissed Arnold tenderly.

“Yes, I need to go to Curve Lane, how is it better to get there?” a woman with blond curls smiled brightly.

“Oh, you won’t believe it, but I live there, Do you go to Becking? Are you their niece?”

“Yes, Amanda,” the girl held out her hand to the acquaintance.

“Luciel, but for such a beautiful woman, just Lucy. Let me give you a ride?”
