Maggie and Guppy walked into the pub, and found their colleagues. Selena got up to greet them, "Hey, you weren't too late after all." she said to Maggie.
"No, Guppy gave me a lift." Maggie looked around at her friends, and her eyes stopped at Nathan for a few seconds before she turned back to Selena. "Where's the birthday boy then?"
"Dunno. Decided to be fashionably late, I s'pose. You know our Harry, likes to be centre of attention."
And with that, he flounced in. "Sorry I'm late, babysitter didn't show."
Selena shook her head, "Doesn't matter, you're here now. Let's get you a drink."
"No, no, they're on me."
"Don't be silly, it's your birthday."
"I insist." He nodded at her glass, "Same again?"
Harry went to the bar while Maggie, Selena and Guppy sat down.
"I am ready to get legless!" Maggie exclaimed.
Charlie groaned, "God help us!"
Everyone laughed, except Nathan.
