She is almost ready, and that's slightly unsettling. Her taxi won't be there for another twenty minutes and she really doesn't know what to do with the time.
Maybe she could call Jane again. No, that would only make her friend anxious, and she is already dealing with a child that doesn't want to wear a tie and her own teenage son.
Distractedly, she scrolls down her list of contacts in her mobile.
She shouldn't. She told him they wouldn't talk before meeting.
But, as so many times before, when it comes to him, the temptation to break the rules is just too strong.
Besides, it won't be a call.
Hello. She texts quickly.
His answer comes almost instantly.
You're cheating.
She chuckles.
You're not stopping me.
Well… you know I can't resist you.
She can't help but beaming. This time her finger hovers for a moment before writing again.
See you in a bit?
Wouldn't miss it for the world.
AN: Thank you all for your kind reviews and fav's!
Next: A celebration and some rule-breaking.
