From Santa Monica, Los Angeles, drive more than 20 kilometers west along California Highway 1 to Malibu.

The 80s were at the peak of the development of the real estate industry in the United States, and the beautiful scenery of Malibu inevitably became the focus of many real estate companies. It was during this period that countless mansions and villas were built along the coastline of Malibu that made this small town a place of great Hollywood and celebrities.

However, as of 1986, Malibu has not even been officially recognized as a municipality under the name of Los Angeles County. The entire Malibu region, stretching from Santa Monica in the east to Ventura in the west, has fewer than 8,000 permanent residents along its 40-kilometer coastline.

In the middle of the Malibu area is the famous Cape Dume Park. On the seaside cliffs flanked by Cape Dumay are some of the most luxurious ocean-view mansions in Malibu.

It's past 11 a.m., and the lights are still on in a cliff villa on the right side of Cape Dume Park.

Having just returned from a party in the city, Janet Johnston took a comfortable shower and came out of the bathroom in a skimpy dressing gown.

In the living room, Catherine is still dressed in the same shirt and trousers she wore to the party, sitting on the sofa and looking through the new shooting budget of "Night of the Bloody Corpse". As the film's finances deteriorated further, with the film's budget reduced from $6 million to $5 million, Catherine was frowning at the moment when she got a brand new budget sheet from the producers at a party tonight.

Janet looked at Catherine on the sofa with a habitual straighten of her back, and there was a quiet and restrained aura all over her body, and she subconsciously relaxed her steps.

Catherine moved to Catherine's side, and a pair of small paws were about to reach the woman's waist before Catherine turned her head sideways and glared at her helplessly. Janet grinned, not in the slightest sense of wanting to be discovered for her prank, and sat down beside Catherine very unfiguratively.

Grabbing a strand of Catherine's long hair and playing with it, Janet said, "Kate, I don't like that guy at all, don't you deal with him anymore, okay?"

Catherine flipped through the budget sheet in her hand and said, "Jim is a nice guy, and besides, we're just ordinary friends." ”

Janet pouted, "You and I are blind, at tonight's party, the ghosts can see that he is courteous to you." The most extreme thing is that he has a wife. ”

Hearing Janet say this, Catherine paused, her eyes still fell on the budget table, but her eyes were a little wandering. After a moment, the woman whispered, "Jenny, I understand. ”

Feeling Catherine's sudden low mood, Janet's body was crooked, crooked, and unconsciously lay down, but her head was pillowed on Catherine's lap, blinking her eyes to look at the woman above her, and said, "Kate, in fact, it's not bad that the two of us have been living together like this, and we don't need a man at all." ”

Catherine took the budget sheet away, smiled on her face, and said, "Jenny, you're talking nonsense again. ”

"No," Janet said, twisting her head towards Catherine, "I'm officially confessing to you, and I'll be sad if you don't agree." ”

Catherine gently touched Janet's fair face and said, "If you're sad, go to sleep, just get some sleep." ”

"Oh, you unsympathetic woman, I hate you. ”

Looking at Janet, who was holding her fingers like a mouse, Catherine smiled, "Haven't you thought about finding a boyfriend?"

"I'm asking too much for me. ”

Catherine became curious and said, "I didn't know what you asked to find a boyfriend, tell me?"

"Well," Janet groaned, "First of all, you have to be handsome, your boyfriend is not good-looking, but it affects the mood." Secondly, you have to be younger than me, eighteen years old, I don't want to grow old with someone, that's terrifying. Again, well, can't be too normal, better be a little crazier than me. In the movie, a madman must be killed by the protagonist, and two madmen can destroy the world. In the end, in order to destroy the world, he must be a little bit more talented than me. ”

Hearing Janet say so out of tune, the smile on Catherine's face became stronger and stronger, and when she finished speaking, she said, "I seem to know such a person, who is completely tailor-made for you by God." ”

"Simon Westeros?" Janet rolled her eyes, "Phew, it's not." ”

Catherine still smiled and said, "Simon fully meets your four requirements, how could it be?"

"I'm too old, I don't have any sharpness at all," Janet's slender fingers drew circles in the air, and said, "You still claim to be from a mental hospital, I think it's almost from a nursing home." With such a soft temper, I even wonder if he has ever fought since he was a child, and I don't want my boyfriend, who is younger than me, to accommodate me like an elder. ”

Catherine thought about the situation when she got along with Simon, and couldn't help but retort: "Simon is a gentleman, so he is not without a temper. And isn't that great? Do you want your boyfriend to beat you? ”

"Of course," Janet nodded, looking hopelessly expectant, "as long as he really loves me, it's okay to be violent once or twice a month." ”

Catherine felt a little broken, and retorted very unconfidently: "People who really love each other will not hurt each other." ”

Janet immediately said: "No, only two people who have no feelings for each other at all disdain to hurt each other." ”

"Okay," Catherine shook her head in complete defeat, "I still don't want to talk to you, if we continue to talk, my worldview may be distorted by you." ”

Janet giggled a few times proudly, then took Catherine's hand with a serious face and said, "Kate, I'm serious." Actually, you can do whatever you want when you're single, but if you get married, women should not be too strong, otherwise the result will be very bad. A lot of times, you're just too strong. ”

Catherine listened attentively, then jokingly nudged Janet, who was still on her lap, and said, "Get up, I don't want to listen to a guy who hasn't even been in love teach me this." ”

"You're prejudiced," Janet suddenly became dissatisfied, and said, "Who said you can't empathize without being in love, I'm just unforgettable about this kind of thing." ”

Catherine looked at Janet's appearance and suddenly said, "I suddenly understood, no wonder you are so resistant to finding a boyfriend, it turns out that there is a shadow." ”

Having said that, Catherine was very conscious of not asking.

Janet also suddenly fell silent, and her eyes fixed on the expensive crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the living room, the dense points of light divided by the crystal corners were like memory fragments from the past.

After a moment of silence, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Janet immediately twisted her body and complained, "Well, it's annoying, it's so late, Kate, why don't we pick it up?"

Catherine hesitated, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's more likely to be looking for you anyway." ”

Thereupon.

After holding on for a while, Janet still said, "Okay, okay, help me get it." ”

Catherine smiled and picked up the phone on the coffee table next to her and handed the microphone to Janet.

However, just listening to what was said on the other side, Janet handed the microphone back angrily: "Obviously looking for you." ”

Catherine was a little puzzled by who would be looking for her at this time.

I put the phone to my ear, answered it, and something started to be said.

Janet, who was a little absent-minded, noticed that Catherine's body was gradually tensing, realized something, and immediately sat up and put her ear to it.

It's just that before she could hear anything, Catherine had already said, "Okay, I'll rush over as soon as possible, UCLA Medical Center, the one on 15th Street, right...... Well, then, goodbye. ”

Hanging up the phone, Catherine looked at Janet with concern and curiosity in her eyes, and her expression was a little more meaningless, and said, "Simon got into a fight with someone, was caught by the police, and is now in the hospital." ”

Janet blinked, then pursed her lips in disgust, and said, "It's useless." ”

Having said that, Janet hurriedly changed her clothes as she watched Catherine get up, and the two women drove together to the UCLA Medical Center in downtown Santa Monica.
