#Leonie is a woman in her 40s, she could be your neighbor. After her divorce, she builds her new life. With neighbor Mandy she has dinner appointments of the good kind: Mandy cooks! Love also comes around the corner again, with all the consequences that this entails..

With the hustle and bustle around her birthday and Julia's stewardesseninternship, the dinner arrangements at Mandy had taken a break. Mandy also had busy weeks behind her, she had had many international flights so she was always away for a few days. Now a quieter period began and they had made an appointment again to eat together. From the moment that appointment was made, Leonie felt butterflies in her belly. First she didn't pay attention to it, and then she linked it to Frank. She wasn't in love with Frank, was she? No, of course not. That was because Ilse had her up. She hadn't thought about Frank in days. Mandy, on the other hand, thought a lot. Oh, Mandy. With her sparkling energy, Mandy looking at her, Mandy with the sun in her hair, her smile, her touches... Leonie noticed that she smiled and touched her cheek with her hand, the place where Mandy always kissed her. Oh, Mandy.

Leonie shook her head to drive the idea out of her head. What the hell is this? She never thought of another woman like that, and now all of a sudden... no, she wasn't in love with Mandy! She couldn't do that at all. She wasn't a lesbian, never was. Would it be possible that that just changed? Leonie was suddenly blood-nervous. Tonight she had a dinner date at Mandy's! And now? She couldn't go there so nervous, could she? What if something happened? Something she would regret afterwards? She got a stomachache.

Judith also noticed something was there. “What is wrong with you? You are absent.” Leonie landed behind her desk again. Yeah, she was at work. “Oh, nothing. No, there is nothing,” said Leonie, as she was again fierfully trying to continue her work. Judith chucked. “Fine, then there is nothing,” she said. She turned around and walked back to her own desk shaking head.

By the time Leonie drove home, she was out of her nerves. How the hell was this supposed to be a normal night? Mandy would definitely notice that Leonie wasn't her own light-hearted self. When she came home, she looked in the mirror to see if she was still presentable, put on some perfume, arranged her hair a little, and updated her makeup. From the fridge, she picked up the desserts she had made. At the front door she breathed deep in and out and spoke to herself: 'Come on, Leonie, don't mind, it's probably just going to be fun. '
