    Mr. Sandalwood stopped dancing, and his smile turned into a frown.                                                                      
     
    “Why ever not?” he asked.                                                       
     
    “Erm, err …” Sophie couldn’t think of an excuse.                                                                                                               
    “Well, you’re going to have to bring him here some way or another. He’s the special guest, I printed it out on all the invitations. And I’ve sent them out, too. So if Adam Attenborough doesn’t come to the party, then my life’s ruined!” Mr. Sandalwood looked as if he was about to burst into tears. His face suddenly turned into a vicious one. “Fuck you Sophie. Fuck you!” he shouted. It wasn’t like Mr. Sandalwood to swear. “If you don’t bring Adam Attenborough to the party you are getting kicked right off my work set, job lost and living alone. I’ll find a decent replacement for you. Be warned.”                                                                                    
    “Stop overreacting, Sandalwood,” Sophie sighed, knowing she had to do it no matter what. “I guess I’m going to have to bring him along.”                                                                                                                
    “You do that,” Mr. Sandalwood warned.

 
     
     
    Chapter Fifteen
    Finding the right moment
     
    Adam was still known as Mitchell to Sophie. They decided to spend another day at town together.                                                                                                               
    Sophie dragged Adam around the shops: Claire’s, Boots, Marks and Spencers, New Look, Topshop … All sorts of shops. Adam made fake wolf whistles as Sophie came in and out of the changing rooms in new outfits. Now that Adam and Sophie had grown so close, Sophie couldn’t help blushing whenever he complimented her.
     
    She was so enviably skinny and beautiful. Right at this very moment, now that they were such good friends, Adam felt like kissing her. Every time they met, Adam couldn’t help but think that she looked more and more beautiful. But then he imagined the press headlines:
     
    SOPHIE HAS DUMPED ADAM ATTENBOROUGH?
     
    SOPHIE HAS A NEW BOYFRIEND!
     
    Sophie’s reputation would go down the line and she would never be respected again.                                          
     
    Then they sat down in the café again. Sophie started talking about random stuff, like déjà vu, but then she just told Adam where he was going to have to meet her tomorrow.                           
     
    “I’ll be at my friend, Billy’s house,” Sophie explained. “He lives at those blocks of flats down the road, room number 5.”                                                                     
    “Right,” Adam replied.
     
    Sophie continued to explain all those picky little address details, and then Adam left and promised that he would meet her up at Billy’s house.
