Get Back to You 40 Giselle struggles, Lillian's message

Giselle's parents bid Goodbye and they left. Though it was a small party, Giselle had to take care of everything. It did make her tired and restless. But she managed to host every single guest. Everyone, when they left, had invited Giselle to their place. She did talk to everyone but not in every detail. We can say that she caught up with everyone with a brief chat.

As she sent off her parents, Giselle felt happy. She couldn't hold in the smile anymore. Anna and Jake were able to notice it from the kitchen window. Anna felt void. She had the responsibility of conveying Lillian's message if she were asked about Lillian. But so far, Giselle hadn't made a move. She wasn't even curious to know about Lillian.

'Maybe she moved on. Guess, it's good for Lillian now. She can move on too.' - Anna thought to herself.

Anna decided to leave as soon as Giselle return back inside. She informed Jake to get ready to leave. Jake was almost drunk and felt dizzy. Anna helped him to reach the dining table to sit down. she gave him some water to sober up. It seems that Anna has to drive back home. She can't let Jake drive when he's almost drunk. It could be dangerous. The couple waited in the dining room for Giselle to come back.

A few minutes later, Giselle came back. Their whole apartment was in mess; not in a bad way. There were glasses around many places. And the balloon decorations were messed up in the living room. Giselle entered her the kitchen with glasses on her hands. She saw Anna. For a moment, she completely forgot that she still had a guest. Because she was fully indulged in sending off her parents.

"Anna" Giselle called out in shock. "I'm so sorry. It is getting late. What happened to Jake? Is he alright?" Giselle asked her.

"He's fine. Just a little drunk. Don't worry. I'm sober and I'll be able to drive. We're just waiting for you to say goodbye." Anna replied. Jake was still drunk and unable to move normally.

There was a moment of awkwardness between Anna and Giselle. They both stood there looking at each other. Anna started feeling uncomfortable. She could read that Giselle was expecting something from her. Now, Anna was extremely confused. She decided to leave before something stirred up. Giselle read the situation and tried to cut it off.

"Wait..." Giselle interrupted. She didn't have a plan or something. But she doesn't want Anna to leave just like that. To this point, Anna figured out what Giselle was expecting.

She looked at Giselle's face and saw those eyes so eager to know about someone. Anna felt bad and confused at the same time.

"Can we talk somewhere private?" Giselle requested.

Anna saw that coming but the nervousness still lingered around her. Giselle took her to the living room while Jake stayed back. She requested to wait for a few seconds and went ahead to Lia's room. Lia was sleeping soundly. Her blankets were away and Giselle covered up Lia again nice and cozy. She kissed her daughter goodnight and then left the room.

When she returned, Anna was sitting on the couch. Giselle went on to grab some drinks for both of them. She handed one to Anna and then sat down for a chat.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Anna started. She hurried to end it as soon as possible. Giselle got startled. She was bewildered by the situation.

"You seem to want to know about someone, I believe?" Anna hit the bullseye.

"Yes," Giselle replied. They both understood the reason behind this conversation.

"So, about who? It is me. And you can tell me. If you're not, then don't expect anything from me either. And I'm leaving immediately." Anna's response triggered Giselle. She took a deep breath before speaking.

"Lillian Grey, did you talk to her?" Giselle was eager now. She had like a million questions to ask but maybe now's not the time.

Anna felt a little odd. Throughout the whole party, Giselle never showed any sign of being super curious about Lillian Grey. But she knew there was some kind of wavelength between Anna and Giselle during this whole time. When it was only Anna and Jake who were left behind, Giselle felt the need to converse with Anna.

"I did. And I have a message from her." Anna spilled the bean. She finally said it. Giselle's eyes widened after she heard that there's a message from Lillian herself. Although, she felt little sad from the fact that Anna met with Lillian and they must have known about Giselle's party but still Lillian didn't come to visit her. However, it is for the best. Lillian Grey doesn't have an idea of what happened in Giselle's life after they went apart. It would be a bad idea to meet at a party. Instead, Giselle agreed to listen to the message.

Anna felt a little concerned for both of her friends. She only wanted the best for them. But she felt uneasy and thought that this might end up differently than they might have expected. With all the heaviness in her heart, she revealed the message that Lillian had sent in for Giselle.

"Giselle, I'm glad to hear that you're back. Hope you're in good health. Well, I heard about your party and that you have invited Anna and not me. It's alright. Things are different now for you, I guess. But here's my message for you in case if you even care about, don't ever show yourself in front of me. Ever again. Why?

Because I can't stop myself from loving you if I ever see you again. What you gave me is irreplaceable. I still have it in my heart. It didn't let me live my life in peace.

However, this one time I've decided to live my life without your memories. So, let me be. And congratulations on your marriage and for your kid. I wish for your happiness and health always. You know I do. Take care. Love you, always."

-Lillian Grey.
