‘Are you okay, Helen?’ Henry asked through her bedroom door.
‘Yes, why wouldn’t I be?’ She could feel the heat rising up her neck, and threw her phone facedown on the bed.
‘Urm, I just heard you scream and wanted to check you were all right?’
‘I’m fine, nothing to see, or hear, here!’ Helen picked at her T-shirt; was she sweating?
‘Okay then.’ Helen heard Henry trudge off slowly down the hall.
She checked her reflection in the mirror, beetroot red. Good job she didn’t open the door. She pulled open her dressing table drawer, and reached for her stash of Percy Pigs. After eating three in a row, she felt composed enough to tell everyone about her date. Could it be too good to be true? A very sophisticated catfish? She shook her head, physically erasing the image of Jonathan’s engagement. No. She deserved to be happy. It was going to be fun.
Helen:OMG guys, you’ll never believe it but I have such a hot date tomorrow!
Helen snapped a quick picture of Brody’s profile and sent the screenshot to Queens xoxo.
He’s a really successful entrepreneur, 37! We just chatted for the past half hour and tomorrow he asked me out for lunch.
But you know what’s the weirdest thing?
He asked me to meet him at KYNANCE Cove!!
Elle:Is that a restaurant? Or a beach thing?
Helen:No, it’s this really beautiful place (well, yes beach) but here’s what’s really weird.
Earlier I was speaking to my nan, and she had her first date with her one true love there.
Isn’t it funny that she just mentioned it?
Elle:With your grandad? That’s weird!
Helen:Actually, he wasn’t my grandad but anyway, I just thought maybe it’s a sign.
Elle:That there’s not that many date locations in Cornwall?
I don’t know babe! He sounds great but be careful meeting someone from an app somewhere remote …
Helen:I really think he seemed so nice!
And anyway, now you have his screenshot you can track me down if you don’t hear back.
Elle:Yeah, he’s cute.
Though not sure about men who own small dogs!
Oh, did I tell you I went on a third date with that Israeli guy today …
He’s so keen, he was already talking about going on holiday later this year.
Helen:Wow, that sounds great! Nice to see a man who knows what he wants.
Elle:I would NEVER go of course, but I’ll take the compliment ;-)
Sophie:Sorry to be late to the party here!!
@Helen that’s great news!!!
Gorgeous picture and sounds like a really thoughtful date too!
