Darling,
Something’s come up.
We’re going to have to make that lunch a dinner now.
Still at Opal. Still tomorrow. Say. . . 7:30?
See you!
Ta, for now!
Mom.
Just great. What if I’d had other plans? Not that I did, but still.

Hey Sheila.
You free right now?
Just heading over to Five Points.
In need of SERIOUS retail therapy.
You in?
Dee.

I grabbed my keys and bag and headed out. I was heading off to the elevators when I ran into Brad.
“You’re back?” I said, excited.
He’d gone to Vegas for a bachelor party at the weekend with Greg and Jeremy. They were supposed to have been back on Sunday, but I guess they’d been having too much fun, they’d stayed till Wednesday – since the wedding was in Nevada anyway.
He grinned. “That was one hell of a weekend!”
I raised my brows. “More like week. Where are um . . . Greg and Jeremy?” I asked, trying not to seem too interested.
He chuckled. “They stayed. Weren’t quite ready to get back to reality.”
I opened my mouth in shock. “You came back first?”
He frowned. “It was between me and Jeremy, you know, because of this huge deal. So, we decided to go Rock-Paper-Scissors. I went with stupid paper!”
“Aw! You’re not going to cry are you?” I asked, jokingly.
“Oh, I already did. Into my fluffy pink pillow last night”, he said, sarcastically.
