I love you, I won't kill you

Because tonight's dinner party will be held in the city, Alice plans to drive her car here.Amanda knew that her elder brother Vincent's SUV could seat five people, but she didn't refute her after hearing Alice's words.

Seeing that Alice said she wanted to go home to pick up the car, Nora hurriedly said to Amanda, "Wait a minute, Alice and I will come pick you up." She knew very well that if she stayed by Amanda's side, she would inevitably leave Alice behind. talk handle.

Although Nora insists that she and Amanda are the best friends since high school, no matter who it is, it is clear that this "good friend" is no longer the simple good friend it used to be.The same argument can also be applied to Alice, and naturally she can no longer claim that she has nothing to do with Amanda.

In contrast, when she proposed to go home to pick up the car, Nora immediately stood on the same "front" with her.Be it suspicion or jealousy, Nora knew exactly what happened between the two.

Amanda sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and watched the TV news, holding a huge grapefruit in her hand, staring at the two with a smile, "Go back and pick up the car. If you are late, don't blame me for giving your share too." eat."

Alice looked at her with a smile and seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said suddenly, "No problem, as long as you can eat. But before we come back, can you play with your hair? "

"Hey hey, do you think I'm not good-looking? Let's go, I know." Amanda stroked her messy, crooked short hair and replied.

After Vincent sent the two of them out of the house, he went back to the living room and sat down.Sipping a cup of steaming coffee, he looked at his sister who was diagonally opposite and said, "I'm sure that the relationship between the two of them and you is not that simple. Don't think that big brother can't see anything. You Understand?"

Amanda continued to peel the grapefruit without panic or shaking hands, "I understand. It is because you have seen it that I choose to face your problem squarely."

"Then you mean that joining the Marine Corps is to inherit the family tradition on the one hand, and on the other hand, we hope that our father can accept your personal orientation?"

At the moment, the sports network is broadcasting the last regular game of last year, in which the state minor league baseball team, the Greenville Bombers, played another in-state baseball team, the Myrtle Beach Gannets.Amanda let out a cry of excitement when the hitter for the Greenville Bombers hit an unerring home run.

"You didn't watch this game? This is the video of last year's game. I'm really excited." Vincent said something to Amanda in reproach.

"No. It wasn't until I entered the Marine Corps that I realized that there were still many interesting things I hadn't tried. Will you be like me in the Naval Academy?" Amanda intentionally turned the direction of the conversation to her elder brother.

"Hmph, I know what you want to say. Who forgot to answer my question just now?"

Amanda put the half-eaten grapefruit on the table, "It's me, okay. Basically, this is what I'm thinking about now. I just don't know what the colonel will think."

Father Nelson's opinion still carries considerable weight, otherwise Amanda would not have thought so carefully.After all, in this motherless family, everyone from Vincent down to the youngest child, Amanda, was used to every command Nelson gave.

Vincent refilled another cup of coffee, and said, "I hope your thoughts are right, and I don't want my father to drive you out of the family in the future. Since you have chosen the Marine Corps, you must take the responsibility of your work seriously." Heart. How did you think about that letter of recommendation?"

Amanda glared at him dissatisfied, "Don't worry about me, I know what to do. Relax, son of the captain of the navy. I will not give up this job easily."

Look at the slightly old clock on the wall, it is almost 05:30 in the afternoon.If you don't start again, I'm afraid a few people won't be able to sit in the best seats in the restaurant.Through the curtains on the first-floor windows, Amanda caught a glimpse of the green Beetle that had just stopped on the path outside.

"God, I haven't done my hair yet! Vincent, do you know that there is jelly water in the bathroom?" Amanda yelled, rushing to the guest bathroom on the first floor.

Five minutes later, Vincent, who was neatly dressed, put on his boat cap and walked out of the house.The captain's badge pinned to the right side of the cap was shining silver in the sunlight.Smiling at Alice, they got into their Chevrolet.

"What is she doing? Why isn't she coming out? You call her." Alice said to Nora, a little confused.

Nora said lightly, "My ex-girlfriend, is it useful to call her? It seems that you are her girlfriend now, right? You two were in the room just now, were you having fun?"

Alice looked embarrassed, and wanted to block Nora's mouth, but thought it was no big deal.Replied, "Hey, are we having fun together, you know? Nora, go find another girlfriend or boyfriend. As a good friend of yours, I really don't want to see you living in memories."
