Things were back to normal. We arrived at Miranda’s house, she got very quiet and seemed nervous. I asked if everything was OK. She nodded yes and ...ot out barely saying goodnight. I stopped to pick up some food and was just minutes away from my house when I heard a cell go off. It wasn’t mine, I searched my car and found a phone down the passenger side of my center console. It was Miranda. She asked if I was still close by but I told her I was almost home. We agreed that I would give it back. I wasnt sure how I wanted this to go. I didnt want to end up sleeping with you again, I just wanted to see you, to catch up. I wanted to reassure myself that you were okay, doing fine. I couldnt work out why I cared, but I did. The piano bar you had suggested was really dark and quiet. There were only a couple of other customers in the place, down the far end of the bar. Id been sitting, waiting for 10 minutes already and I was nervous. I pulled at the hem of the dress Id worn, wondering again. Cindi seemed the sanest of all of us and decided that she and Amy would stay at their grandparents for the weekend. She insisted it was ok - after all, she had been alone for two weeks anyway because she was avoiding or fighting with everyone. It wouldn't hurt to be with her grandparents for two daysAmy came home a little while later from Rebecca's house, and as she walked by me she asked in a quiet voice that no one else could hear, "Did you get it all straightened out?"Damn! Like I said,. "Martha laughed at his easy manner and saw that he was just being friendly because they were both involved in police work."Please call me Martha, Jimmy, no need to be formal. Fancy a pint at the pub? I need to toast your graduating with honors."He grabbed his workout bag and followed her out to the street. She started to walk off in the direction of the pub but he handed her a helmet from a sleek looking black bike and told her,"Not much, but we have transport."Martha climbed on the bike behind.
