"If Jelena became the other woman meddling in my marriage to Fredric, whose side would you take?" This question had been on Sheryl's lips more times than Aurelia could count.
It was clear to Aurelia that Sheryl was still incredibly wary of Jelena even though Jelena had moved abroad.
"Sheryl, I've said it over and over. I'm all for justice over family ties. But you've got nothing to worry about. Jelena wouldn't be a homewrecker. She's not short on cash or fame. Why would she throw her future away like that? She wouldn't have left the country if there were any funny business between her and Fredric."
Sheryl poured herself a glass of red wine and swirled it gently. "Let's hope she's got her wits about her."
The movie started.
Avery played a dual role in this movie, where a man from a parallel universe crossed over, only to find his other self living a life far more blissful than his. And his deceased girlfriend from his own world was still alive.
He then harbors a sinister thought of replacing this world's version of himself.
The film was a roller coaster, jam-packed with suspense, and there wasn't a dull moment.
After the credits rolled, they all sat around dissecting the plot.
With a playful tone, Aurelia mused, "This parallel universe stuff is scarier than identical twins. They're exactly alike. But I swear I'd notice in a heartbeat if my boyfriend suddenly switched places with someone, even someone identical."
She smiled, glanced at Sheryl, and asked, "What about you, Sheryl? Would you be able to tell?"
"Of course," Sheryl responded. "Even if they looked the same, their personalities, tempers, and morals would differ. How could I not notice?"
Aurelia then turned to Lisbeth. "And you, Lisbeth?"
Tucking a stray hair behind her ear, Lisbeth said, "I think I could tell, too. It's so creepy only to think about it. The female lead got intimate with both men and got pregnant. I bet even she couldn't tell who the father was."
She seemed to discuss the plot without drawing any parallels to her life.
Aurelia was puzzled.
