Agatha raises a brow. “They wish. I’m friends with their brother. You’re lucky I haven’t told Ian what you two did,” she tells the two boys, who look guilty.
“You want me to drop you somewhere?” she asks me, and I shake my head.
“I have to meet Mr. Daniel.”
Agatha tosses the car keys to the twins. “Go wait in the car.”
The boys wave at me and rush off.
Agatha sits down next to me. “So, you and Fergus, huh?”
My eyes widen. “Why, what did he say?”
She laughs. “Nothing. This is the first time I’ve seen him chasing a woman. He really likes you.”
I shift in my seat, admitting, “I like him too. A lot.”
I could see that she wants to ask something, but she stops herself. “We should hang out sometime.”
When she stands up, I ask, trying to be discreet, “Um, Agatha, did you and Fergus, ever…”
I trail off, leaving the question hanging in the air.
She blinks at me and then bursts out laughing. “Oh, God. No! Never. He’s more like a brother to me!”
I feel relieved and Agatha, still chortling, puts a hand on my shoulder. She gave me a kind smile. “Fergus isn’t the type that will cheat or hurt you intentionally. He’s a good man.”
I purse my lips. “Is he really just a bartender?”
I’ve noticed a few things that slipped out of his mouth, and they are eating at me.
Agatha grins. “Is that what he told you?”
I nod.
“Tell you what; why don’t we go out for dinner on Friday night? I’ll pick you up. There is this amazing restaurant near my house.”
I frown. “What does that have to do with my question?”
She grins at me. “I’ll answer all your questions there.”
As she walks off, I stare at her retreating back.
I turn my attention back to the form I was filling in and let out a heavy sigh.
Finishing the form and getting done with my meeting where I am chastised that if I had to take a day off, it is my duty to inform the school beforehand, I grab my purse and start home.
My car is still in the shop, so I have to take the bus today. As I climb off at my stop, I tuck my hands in my jacket and feel some relief at the fact that it has at least stopped snowing.
I am nearing my house when I see a man standing on the road across from building, staring up at it. About to dismiss him for just being weird, I get a look at his face, and I freeze.
“Roy?”
He turns to look at me, and I see no trace of the young boy I often patched up after he fought with his friends.
He looks uneasy at seeing me. “Sarah.”
I stumble towards him. “I’ve been looking for you!”
