Julia Volkova

It's summer 2002. Yulia and Lena are strolling along a lovely embankment and find a bench. After a busy weekend, the weekend was simply wonderful, and the weather even better. Sun, sea, waves, and noise. Yulia and Lena sit down on the bench, and Yulia says:
-You know, Len, it's so carefree and calm here, no noise from fans...
Lena looked with a sad smile, squinting from the sun's rays.
-Yeah, Yul... It's really peaceful here. If only we could relax like this more often, without fans and filming.
The girls sat hugging, but then Yulia suddenly fell silent. Her heart started beating faster than usual, and her gaze became confused. Lena noticed this and asked:
-Yul, why are you so confused all of a sudden?
Yulia looked straight into the blue eyes, exhaled and timidly began to speak:
-Len, you see... My image has grown into love, I really love you...
Yulia felt a lump in her throat, hesitated, and began to look away. Lena, meanwhile, was surprised and blushed slightly at the unexpected, yet very warm, words.
