Disclaimer-own nothing, all in my head, please don't sue
Why hello to you my old chum, how are you? Have you had a hair cut? Fabulous, now back to me, well as you can imagine quite a bit has happened since we last saw each other. My mother didn't speak to me for two weeks after I didn't accept either proposal, it was two weeks of bliss I tell you, anyway Gary and I dated for a couple of months after that, until Tamara turned up out of the blue, which as you can imagine went down well, so we broke up, which in the end worked out well, I reacted in the usual way and retreated to The Hamilton Lodge, and then actually went on holiday, go me.
I didn't go anywhere exotic, in fact in rained the whole week, but I did expect that, there was a very unexpected moment when I decided that spending every evening sat on my own duvet cocooning wasn't working so went for a quiet drink, and long story short, quite literally bumped into Mike, which was such fun, as I hadn't seen him since the night we broke up. (Flashback) Miranda walks into the pub and straight into Mike,
"oh sorry sir thank you please"
"Miranda, is that you?"
"Mike? What are you doing here?"
"I was just about to ask the same thing, how are you?"
"Not bad considering"
"Sorry, I'll just let my cousin know I'll be a bit longer than I thought"
"This is the last place I would have expected to find you, every hotel between the Hamilton Lodge and here full?"
"Funny, no, I needed to get away, things with Gary went a little awry"
"Oh I'm sorry" Mike tried to sound genuine but his heart was doing backflips, this could be his second chance with her.
"Yes his ex-wife turned up and well there was an almighty row and I had to get away, enough of me how has life treated you?"
"Not bad. Same old same old really, I have been meaning to call you, just so see how you are doing but always chicken out at the last minute. I miss you Quirky, will you go to dinner with me tomorrow night, just as friends, so we can catch up properly?"
"OK then, you have my number, just tell me where I need to be" (end flashback)
So I have my Marple back, and I couldn't be happier, we're taking things slowly and I know how he feels, but I'm really falling for him, I think it was my feelings for Gary that stopped me feeling like this before.
