Just a friend

“Sarah tells me that this Juliette is someone I must meet, so you must bring her home this weekend or next”

“OK, OK, so I know someone called Juliette, but she's just a friend, that’s all, and I have absolutely no intention of bringing her home for you two to give her the ‘once over’. Absolutely not!”

“Oh well Mark, have it your way, but I do wish you would get on and meet someone before they send your Dad and me to a retirement home”. And with that, Victoria changed the subject and soon after put the phone down.
