At that Abbie giggles, but her delight in my return still doesn’t change the fact that she’s mad. ‘So who the fuck did it?’ she demands, but I...just sigh and shake my head. ‘Forget about it, okay? It’s over and done with,’ I try to assure her, wanting to just forget about the whole ordeal myself. Abbie frowns, but lets the issue lie for now. I step past her and head for the stairs, but she calls me back as she rushes into the living room, finding her own purse and pulling something out of it.. Time continued to pass. I dared not make a soundand thus I did not move an inch. I kept an audio and visual vigil. My attentionwas drawn to any sound or noise and as soon as I heard it my eyes were drawnto the door. Nothing. No Goddess, no sound. I closed my eyes and became horriblymelancholy. Suddenly and without warning the door swung open. Goddess enteredthe room. "Out you go", Goddess said in a stern fashion as she unlocked thecage. I crawled out of the cage and to her feet. I began to kiss. She finally eased off crying and looked up at him, with so much love in her eyes.Gazing at him, Chris then uttered the words, “Dave, I believe you are my son, everything seems to fit together so well to be just a coincidence."“I can’t believe this David, I never thought I would see you again, especially in this situation. Here I was thinking that we could begin a relationship although there is a difference in our ages. Now I am confronted with my long lost son. I have kept you in my heart all. I went in for a squeeze.‘Hey! You’ll crease my top!’ she said, gently pushing me away.I grabbed my phone and my wallet and headed out and up the quiet road to our new local.*The first pint barely touched the sides, and I was midway through my second when Sarah and Geoff appeared in the distance. If they’d struggled for words with each other earlier, they were certainly making up for it now, chattering away with the occasional laugh.‘Hey neighbour!’ Geoff called out as they approached the bench.
