Taxi has arrived , thankfully the party hosts live 10 miles away , close enough for a taxi journey that enables me to have the few glasses of pinot th...t are going to give me the courage to walk through their front door . . The front door is opened by the hosts themselves , she is 50ish , wearing stocking , suspenders , peek a boo bra and a mischievous smile , her husband , is around same age , but more formally dressed in trousers and shirt , his eyes sparkle as he welcomes me in . I am. Can I buy you a drink?”“That’d be nice, thanks, Maggie.”“Have we met?”“Don’t think so.”“So, how do you know my name?”“Could I have Merlot too, please?”“Er, sure, yes.” Denise poured another glass and I carried it along the bar to the woman. “How do you know my name?”“I don’t know, I must have overheard someone calling you that.”“I haven’t seen you here before. What’s your name?”“Clemency.” She took the glass from my hand. “Thanks. I like your dress.”I’d changed at work as I usually do if I am. I smiled back at Glenda and said, "How do you feel now? Does your stomach hurt where that asshole hit you?"Glenda smiled up at me and said, "Not much. It is more of a pulling from the scab and a little burning occasionally. What about you? Your arm is still swollen and I can tell you can't use it very well. We really should have taken you to the doctor you know. I was so scared when he came after you and hit you so hard. When you fell I was sure he would kill you like he threatened."I could. Oh I hug and kiss Richard because I know he's safe but that's why Ronny's behaviour upset me so much." I'm not surprised and that's why Louise was looking out for you at the dance."Annette nodded. "Well now you, dear Harry, have upset the applecart." Why?" Because we're becoming closer and closer, aren't we?"He nodded."And soon you're going to want to kiss me and hug me and things."He nodded again."I won't be able to let you and that wouldn't be fair and you'd probably give me up." She burst.
