For the record I say do what your heart tells you. This is your life, your choices.
But please be careful & call me straight after. I’m here if you need to vent. Anytime!
Thanks. You’re a good friend, so, thank you. God, I wish we’d met in high school! I know this is the right way to do it…at least for me. It’s their mess, they can fucking fix it.

I’m here. Nervous.
Shit, okay. Don’t be nervous! You’ve got this. You know what to say, you’ve covered everything.
Em, you know you don’t have to do this right?
I do.
I want to do this.

Done. It’s an offer. And I have everything they just said on my phone.
My eyes snap to Emily’s mobile phone on the table beside me but there’s no way I can open it.
I read on.
Okay. Is that admissible?
Let me know when you are safe home.
Home. Wow. Holy shit. I don’t know if it’s admissible but it’s enough, if you know what I mean. I actually feel better! I was scared I wouldn’t but I do. I think this is going to work.
Fucking hell you’ve got balls!
How were they?
They were weirdly businesslike. They listened, then they had a discussion, and then they made an offer.
What did they offer?
They gave me three options. I’ll tell you this evening. But they’re good. If it works then in a way it’ll all have been worth it.
Worth it?
Well…not for nothing.

Just got a call. They’re pulling out.
Do they know you have the last meeting on your phone?
No.
Tell them
Tues Jan 5, 10:22am
It worked. They’re consulting legal.
