Inconvenient Guest

Strange how often people turn up at the same exact moment you start thinking of 'em, it's like somehow your very thoughts had summoned them to you and you just aren't aware. 

In the case of Hayley here, I'm not exactly sure who summoned her, whether I was at fault, or doting Dad had more than just Nick on his mind all along. Either way, whatever's gonna happen next… I was sorely tempted to quit my job and never find out just to stave away the awkwardness that was bound to envelop the entire premise. 

Harry caught the look on my face, and before I could deter him with a warning whisper, he casually glanced behind him, and they saw each other, and just like that, it was all over.
