It had been almost a year since Sandra had dealt the revelation that she had been married before to Gerry in confidence. It had also been nearly since Gerry Standing had figured out where it was long before UCOS that he has met Sandra. How they had very nearly shared an intimate evening together in the wake of their divorces.
Gerry had often wondered whether he should tell Sandra he remembered, the part of their past they had shared after all it was her who brought it up, she was the one who said to him "I was married once". Would she have said that if she had remembered what it was they nearly did?
Was it her way of saying 'why Gerry don't you remember what happened when we met years ago in the waiting room we were both in to see a man about a divorce'?
If he hadn't have been such an idiot and forgotten their 'brief encounter' he wouldn't have been pondering on if he should have brought it up a year later.
It was no use he was going to have to bite the bullet; he was going to ask Sandra if she remembered how they almost slept together the night they filed for divorce. He was also keen to know why she had been so up for it and then at the last minute saying they shouldn't as she was still married. From the moment Gerry had learnt about the mysterious 'Mr Pullman' (well she would never have taken his name) from the moment that Girl in Jericho's office said she regretted her marriage and from the moment Sandra Pullman told Gerry that the reason she divorced him was because she didn't love him.
It was almost time for knocking off and Brian and Jack won't be back from their inquires as Brian had is bike stolen so he was relying on Jack to take him home. This was the perfect excuse to invite her for a drink. He knocked on her office door.
"Come in". She said looking up from her computer screen.
"Guv' I was wondering if you fancied a drink Jack and Brian have knocked off it seems so it's only fair we do" he asked politely.
"Sounds good to me I could murder a drink" she replied.
"Great, there's this little place I haven't been to in years I thought we could try it, if that's okay".
"Do they sell wine at this 'little place'?"
"Of course what pub doesn't" he answered.
"Good well count me in".
"Great I will get the car, might as well go in mine at least one of us can have a proper drink then". He said knowing it might take Sandra to devour a few glasses of wine before he asked her what he was burning to.
