I was sitting in the city centre when 2 thirty something females said to me how much to coatbridge the other guys all wanted £40 it was a quiet nite ...o i said how about £25 and they got in. So off we set a bit of banter on the way its always good to have a bit of a laugh with the punters. So one of them was bantering back and forward with me the other was talking but not as much as the other. The one that was doing all the talkings name was robin the other was kirsty. Robin said there was 3 of. Sir.”She was growing on me but I still had feelings for Jackie but they seemed to be fading. We hadn’t spoken in a month or two and she didn’t try to come see me and I didn’t try to see her even though we were just a couple of hours’ drive from each other. I didn’t want to make any commitments or set up expectations that I wouldn’t be willing to keep in the future.“Patty, I love you. I had talks earlier this summer with Darcy’s husband, Britt. I had a talk with Darcy and with my mom. My sister. “Amanda, listen to me. I am Fiona”, I said, outloud and more firmly, still stroking her. “Be still now. You know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. It’s only a bad dream.”“Yes”, she said, still in the nightmare’s grip. “I’ll tell Fiona. She’ll ... she’ll rescue me ... No, you can’t hurt her...”I didn’t want to wake her up, if nothing else because I didn’t want her to remember. The little I could follow sounded really bad. I didn’t want her to feel embarrassed for her nightmare, or beat. As the bridal party moved off, Jenny and I decided it was time we madethe rounds. "I hope I can remember who was here" Jenny confided in meas we moved off to greet the guests, holding hands the whole time. Westopped at a table that was filled with some of the upper levelemployees od the Thompson Company, including Archie Christian fromLondon and his wife Jane. We had met her at the reception back inLondon in the fall, an event that seemed like a lifetime ago. They wereexcited to hear that.
