It was down to this. Valentina needed to decide if she was still in love with her first love. Some said it could never last. Some annoyed her by making a big deal about it. But now, Ollie was ready to let it go.
"But what if Jools has found a new love?" Ollie wondered if Jools was as loyal as he pretended.
It was such an unsettling conversation with Ollie. All Valentina could think was to wonder if it was over between her in Ollie.
This was worse than a mid-term test. What had she done to make Ollie feel this way? Did he want to break up?
She'd always hoped to be true to him, but then she met Jools and it was like she'd found her soul mate, especially when it came to crafting. It wasn't normal to meet a boy who could appreciate a good sock creature or smile when he imagined how to make a pet bed out of an old sweater. Yes, she loved that about Jools. But was that enough for a relationship?
Besides, it was only temporary that he would be here in the states. He would be going back to Bejing in February. It wasn't like she could keep him here. Still, she knew he was a friend she would always care about.
So here they were, Valentina and Jools out on the hunt for fabrics and other crafting needs. Oh, the joy of buttons! Nothing quite as exciting as a sale at a fabric store. Although, it wasn't long until Joley was texting Jools and before she knew it, he was off taking a call.
It wasn't until then, she understood her place. Perhaps, Jools was the brother she'd always wanted. She needed to cheer him and Joley on.
Valentina took a picture with her Android of all the chunky yarns on sale. "What color do you want your scarf?" She texted Ollie. After all, there was nothing more soothing in the world than crocheting something for Ollie.
