Leonie, are you in love?

#Leonie is a woman in her 40s, she could be your neighbor. After her divorce, she builds a new life with her three children. Her parents live nearby and her sister is expecting her second child. Her friend Ilse has relationship problems and her neighbor Mandy has dinner appointments of the good kind: Mandy cooks!

Leonie lay stretched out on the couch, old-fashioned calling Ilse. Nowadays a lot went through appjes, but there was little above hanging on the phone with a girlfriend for a long time. And she hadn't spoken to Ilse in far too long. They had exchanged news about their work and the children, and then Leonie had asked about Vincent. Ilse immediately sounded a bit more gloomy, but had put up a pretty positive story. Leonie couldn't rule out the fact that there were ears listening in. Apparently it didn't go really well between the two, Leonie heard between the lines.

Before she knew it, she was briefly reporting on her meeting with Frank in the supermarket and about the Christmas trees in the recycled shop. She sounded way too enthusiastic, or was that the contrast to how Ilse was talking about her husband? Leonie was warm and kept rattling, she heard it herself, but she couldn't stop. “Ho! Stop!” it sounded on the other side of the horn. Leonie stopped talking. Ilse started laughing. “Leonie, are you in love?” Leonie was chopping, but he was totally stuck. “No, he's just a nice man, so I'm not in love right now, am I?” she said quasi-bozy. “That doesn't have to be right away, but when I hear you like that, it will happen to you!” Ilse laughed. “No, it is not. Joh, I don't feel like that! By the way, I'm in the apprentices with my neighbor, who's been single her whole life and I was going to take an example there,” Leonie said. Ilse was on the other side of the line. “Well, then I would stay away from the circuit shop and go shopping at another supermarket, because I think fate has very different things in store for you. In any case, not a long carefree life as a single!” Leonie was quiet. “Do you know where he lives?” Ilse asked. “No”, said Leonie “but around here probably. Or he accidentally went shopping when he was finished at the circuit.” “Do you know what to do?” said Ilse conspiracy. “Remember what we used to do? You just have to post at the circuit shop at closing time and then drive after him when he goes home, then you'll know right away!” “No, that does not stand out at all!” said Leonie, but she immediately got visions of herself with a stick moustache behind a tree.

“By the way, maybe he's married, I don't know anything about him,” said Leonie. “Ow, I'm going to the circuit shop once and then I'm going to have a chat with him,” said Ilse, who was now on the move. “I'm sure I manage to find out if he is single. Yes, I am going to do that!” “Just let it out of your brain!” said Leonie, but she had a hard head in it. She should have just kept her mouth shut.
