Chapter 143: Long Time No See

Half an hour later, when I enter the pub, my friends are already sitting at a comfortable table near the fire. I've missed them so much.

I haven't told them about Stephen and Cathy. They know that we broke up and they know that he hurt me but I haven't told them the details. It still hurts too much for that.

The pub is called 'The Last Leg', an old pub with an equally old landlady. I drop my stuff at the table with my friends, remove my coat and scarf, grabbing the wine they have ordered for me, and perch down on the bench.

"Cheers."

Anna's eyes are sparkling with interest.

"Your email; did you mean Andrew Contrius?"

I nod. I don't want to open my mouth; I'm not sure I will be able to control my tongue.

"Bloody hell," Elle laughs.

"Just your luck," Mike grins.

"You never know it could be fun," Anna suggests with a wink.
