Ivan: So how much time did he give you?
Anna: 1 week; I never felt so humiliated in my whole life.
Ivan: Don't cry, please..please
Anna: I'm trying, just don't know how to handle all these..I hate my life - doing this stupid job at the art gallery, hardly saving any money and now my boyfriend wants me to move out of his life and apartment. Thought in Dubai, I will find all the joys I was searching for and now all that i find in Dubai is sand!
Ivan: Com'on now. Don't say that. Give time to yourself. o.k? And you don't have to worry about the accommodation. You can stay here with me till you find a place.
Anna: Is it o.k?
Ivan: Of course Anna; Tell me how long we have been friends? 14? 15 years? You helped me come here. Look at me I'm living my dream and I want to share it with you.
Anna: Oh Ivan, you are the best.
Ivan: You ever doubted that?
They both laugh and hug.

What hit her????
Elena: Funny
Shawn: I'm serious, I want to take you to dinner sometime.
Elena smiles: No thank you, I'm good

Elena:What are you doing here?
Shawn: Oh, Topher told me you do your round here and I thought if I go home I might just sleep over, so basically, I was waiting here for the past 3 hours for you to show up.
Elena: What? Are you a stalker or something?
