Four PeopleChapter One: Peter Pan
I know he loves her. The way he looks at her, the way he nervously gestures as if a private moment is hidden between them. I just know.
But what I don't know, is if she loves him.
Dino told me a story, a while back but is compelling to look back on. It was after my rescue. He was drunk, in a bar, of course otherwise he wouldn't have told me.
It was about Alice and Terry.
'Here, lets have a drink, to life, honour and the other crap. Speaking of honour there's this great story, about two people.' His eyes were unfocused, his clumsy hand movements threatening to tip his glass of gin on himself.
'We were having this get together, see?' A crooked smirk plastered over his face, 'It was about you and we were discussing this and that, and about money and god knows what when I watched Alice and Terry'
I was curious and my expression must have been so funny that it struck amusement in Dino.
'Terry picked up this beer glass and took a swig from it, no sooner than he put it down, Alice took it, drinking up about half the remaining glass'Pausing for a minute to add effect, he smiled down at his empty glass of gin then turning back to Peter and said.
'…it was almost as if they were married!'
Giving a loud chuckle, he waved to the bartender to refill his glass yet again.
It was funny, Alice hated sharing drinks, especially with someone she didn't know very well, especially if it was a scotch or beer.
Even my sister noticed something, a lot of talking and private conversations sometimes a whole lot of talking as if noonewastherethoughitmighthavebeenabigcrowd.
As it happened before we left Columbia, they talked as if it were the end of the world, as if they were never going to see each other again.
