The next few days flew by and then it was the weekend. There was no college or work that weekend.
"What does anyone wanna do?" Des asked when they were all (for once) sitting around the table eating their breakfast. Sheelagh still hadn't spoken to Patrick, she was trying to put it off for as long as possible.
"Like what?" Fintan asked with a mouthful of rice krispies.
"Don't talk with your mouth full Fintan!" Sheelagh said.
Fintan finished his mouthful then said, "sorry."
"Well, I thought that maybe we could all do something together."
"What? Like bowling?" Siobhan suggested.
"If you like."
"Okay. I'm up for it." Declan said.
"Me too." Fintan said.
"Okay." Siobhan replied.
Des waited for a minute before saying. "Sheelagh?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you wanna go bowling?"
"Yep."
"Good."
At the bowling alley, halfway through the game.
"You're too good Des!" Fintan said.
"Oh, thank you." Des replied.
"Don't compliment him Fintan. His head's big enough already!" Sheelagh put in.
"Hey!" Des hit her playfully on her thigh.
The rest of the game went by quickly and happily. Too soon it was time to go home.
