CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
"Who is he?" said Tess after a lengthy science
"What?" said Zoe
"Exhibit A, no ring" said Tess pointing to Zoe's hand "you have taken it off"
"Wait a minute, you noticed my ring?" said Zoe
"It was hard not too" said Tess "giant diamond"
"But, why didn't you say anything?" said Zoe
"Well I knew it was the ring nick got you so I guessed that you just put it on cause you were missing him" said Tess "I didn't know that you had actually met up with him and got married"
Zoe sighed and put her hand on one of her kitchen worktops to steady herself.
"Exhibit B" began Tess what this point walked over to Zoe's fridge, opened it and pointed to the beer inside it "you don't drink beer"
Zoe once again sighed but looked out her kitchen window and into the dark night, Tess walked over and joined her.
"And why the hells Charlie running around your garden?" said Tess
Zoe looked at Tess and raised her eyebrows before making her way to her back door, placing her hand on the handle before lifting it off again.
"Actually, I don't want to know" said Zoe throwing her hands in the air before leaving the kitchen with a wine glass for Rita and Robyn
"Thanks" said Rita and Robyn as Zoe gave them a glass each
Tess re-entered the living room and sat down beside Zoe.
"You not drinking?" commented Rita
"No" said zoe "I am on shift in an hour"
"Zoe you have just come off shift" said Robyn
"Well it will keep my mind off everything and Charlie's going to be there" said zoe "paperwork or something"
"Then I'm going in to" said Tess "I can sleep in the office if need be"
Zoe smiled at Tess before looking down; she wasn't going to mention the sneaky glass of wine or two she had with max earlier.
"We better go" said Robyn and Rita at the same time
Zoe half smiled as Robyn and Rita stood up, Zoe's walked them to the door and watched Rita walk out first, then Robyn second.
"Have you seen max?" said Robyn as she left
"Not since the cemetery" said Zoe
"I thought he walked you home" said Robyn
"No" said zoe "he left at the cemetery, I guessed he was going to some girl's house, you know what he's like"
"Yea" said Robyn "thanks anyway"
Rita and Robyn left and Zoe closed the door to be faced with Tess who wasn't convinced.
