A/N: Slightly festive AU.
...
Adam is walking down his old road, close to Christmas time, when he hears a familiar voice.
"Adam!" Peter claps him on the back. Adam is now taller than he is. "How's it going?"
"Good." Adam shakes his old friend's hand. "Just visiting my Mam."
"Me too." Peter looks over at his old house on the estate. "We should go for a drink in the new year."
"Definitely," says Adam politely, although they say this every time they bump into each other. "How's the family?"
"They're all good. How's — Cathy, is it?"
"Cassie. Yeah, she's grand."
They chat about old times and something makes Adam ask, "Hey, do you ever hear from Jamie?"
"Nah. She married an Australian. Lives on the other side of the world."
Adam nods. "Well, good to see you."
They part ways at the end of the estate and Adam has forgotten the conversation by the time he gets home.
