" Max, how've you been? "
Jeanne seated herself beside him comfortably without hesitation, dropping her bag near her feet, she was looking less sultry and more like a normal friend today, her hair tied loosely and her expression relaxed, and her behavior had a very positive attitude, almost cheerful compared to yesterday.
" Fine, How about you? Everything good? Eaten well? "
" Yes, Here the thousand euro I owe you, my Daddy sent me money yesterday after I went to the hotel "
Jeanne pulled out ten brand new hundred-euro bills from her backpack and carefully placed them in front of him, the crisp notes still stiff and straight, then she slid them toward Max with a small proud smile, Max took them calmly without counting, he didn't want a friend to owe him anything, she was a nice person and was desperate yesterday, and that was reason enough.
" Thank you "
" No, I should thank you for all that food, I burnt half of it "
