“Yes, and so it’s all settled,” Lise said, smoothing her skirts but unable to stop a girlish giggle as she looked over at her friend. “And you know he’s quite the gentleman -- I could tell that Father and Mother liked him when they met him, and I think we’ll be quite happy.” The young woman couldn’t help a smile, excited as she was for this new chapter of her life, as a wife instead of a fiancée, a woman instead of a girl. “I love him so. He’s so driven, he could do anything, I know. J’attends le jour de notre mariage avec impatience, vraiment,” Lise added in a whisper, feeling somehow that she shouldn’t admit her excitement -- yet with Juliet, surely it would be all right. “You will come visit us in Moscow, won’t you?”
