Getting ready for the evening

After Liz came back she had a grin and pointed Chantal’s phone at me.

She posted on social media as Chantal that “she” was going on a spa week and would be in touch later.

‘This should buy us some time!’ Liz said.

I laughed and then said to her “You know, you’re taking all of this pretty well in stride”.

The bouncy goth girl grinned at me and fingered the necklace she wore “Well, Alternative is kinda my thing.. “

She glanced at her own phone and her eyes bugged out. “Eep! I’ve got to get to work!”

She gave me her phone and said “put your number in so I can text you. And you Have to send me that vid..”

And with a whirlwind of activity she ran out the door - only to pause as the weather changed. It was windy and starting to rain.

“Mind if I borrow your coat?” She asked, and before I could answer she put it on and was out the door.

Alone with my thoughts, I decided I could use a shower.
