As she spoke I looked around and realised for the first time that I had not, in fact, seen Libby for some time and as I looked round I could see the others noticing her absence as well.

I glanced around the place to try and locate her but could not find her so just looked back over to Andy and the Irish guy who was looking more uncomfortable by the second.

Andy grabbed him by the arm and pulled him to a chair at the table and began to introduce us all, I felt a little sorry for him he just seemed totally at a loss as to what he could do to get away.

I had an inkling that there was something going on that we were all missing no one looked as uncomfortable as this guy without having a reason or something he was hiding.

We sat and chatted and laughed as Andy told how she new Connor from when she was younger and how he and Libby had been inseparable and always up to no good.

Back in the bathroom:

————-Tina————

Libby explained how she had known Connor since they were kids and how over the years that Andy had been away it had turned into a lot more,

“In fact I think it was always there, we were just too young and then too scared and then finally just couldn’t deny that we had to give it a go or the stress it was putting on the friendship would have ruined it. Since we finally took that extra step it has been amazing I am so in love with him that I think I will just pass out sometimes when he enters the same room as me.”

She had a far away look on her face as she spoke and a smile played over her mouth. I imagine it is the look I wear as I recite memories of the way Bette makes me feel and realise that she is truly in love not just ***** in the bathroom with some stranger as it had first appeared.

“Libby, if you don’t mind me asking why has no one told Andy about this, for that matter why haven’t you told anyone?”
