A lot had changed since Jack had left, Sandra and Gerry still didn't know the real reason why he'd left. Brian seemed to be coping better and still hadn't touched even a drop of alcohol. The weirdest things though were the fact Gerry and Sandra were both in relationships.
Sandra was dating a man called Ben, she had been for a couple of months now and this was one of the few relationships Brian and Gerry knew about. The other thing about this relationship was that Ben wasn't married and he wasn't in any other relationship of any kind.
Gerry was also in a very serious relationship, he'd also been with his new partner for a couple of months. Her name was Maggie, Gerry had meet her at a cooking class and they'd hit it off straight away. She'd very quickly moved in with him and sold her own house.
'Pub anyone?' Gerry asked as he saw the time was nearing 7 o'clock.
'Yeah sure.' Sandra called through from her little office.
'Brian?' Gerry asked looking at the older man.
'Yeah sure mate.' Brian replied
'Good, let's go.'
They all sat down outside looking over the river, in their usual spot when the weather was nice.
'I've got something I want to ask both of you.' Gerry told the other two.
'Go on then…' Sandra prompted him.
'I want to ask Maggie to marry me, what do you think?'
'That's great mate, good luck.' Brian congratulated him.
'Bit soon don't you think?' Sandra added bluntly, quickly she downed the rest of her glass of wine and stormed off, telling the others she'd see them tomorrow.
'What's wrong with her?' Brian asked confused.
'No idea mate. Anyway I better be off, Maggie's making dinner tonight. Wanna lift home?'
'Yeah thanks.'
Hope this is okay! Feel free to review
