at ease

Hmm, I’m leaning towards Gigi and thinking he’ll find his plucky young friend is suddenly the love of his life.

So... Piper?

Every other romcom probably.

If only life was like Oklahoma! I can’t see Grant as the cowboy type though.

…When is Grant going to have a one night stand with a semi-respectable girl which turns into a relationship?

Is that based on a movie?

Anyone over 22 is, really. When is he going to settle down with a nice girl?

Grant and a nice girl seems like a far fetched idea.

…I am too old for jelly shots.

So is Grant.

If there’s going to be jelly and ice cream, I’m there. Otherwise, no deal. Nada.

He said something about jelly shots.

Right. Grant was.

I have various ‘is Sherrie coming to my birthday party?’ texts from him. I’d prove it but I keep forgetting how to take pictures of my screen.

Well, no, obviously not. 

That’s good, because I think Grant was pining...

A little, at first. Then the girls got the shop and Grant got all his lawyer cases and… a part of me just needed to cut ties.

And now? I mean, is there still a reason to cut ties?

Oh, yeah. I don’t know much about that… We mostly lost touch apart from the occasional text and Christmas card.

You didn’t talk much when I was gone?

Distraction? From what?

Things? Boyfriend things? Sort-of-boyfriend things?

Nah, she’s probably got more important things to worry about at the moment, I’ll give her a call soon.

Are you sure? She might like a distraction.

Like Ella needs anymore talents… You think she’d knit my baby ballet girls some legwarmers?

I can put in a good word so you climb up her client list?

So many tiny people in tap shoes. So much noise.

I hear Ella is good at knitting these days. She could make you a pair of ear muffs.

Oh, hardly! It’s just a sandwich and some company, nothing I’d rather do.

Still modest too, then.

…I’m texting Josie to pick up some fresh tubs right now.

You’ve not changed much then. Still a complete saint, I see.

…Even marshmallow fluff and peanut butter sandwiches?

Those came right after the animals. Do you know, I haven’t had one of those since I got back?
