“Yeah, fine. Let’s get out of here,” I say, turning to see Jasper watching us from the doorway.
We step outside just as two female officers are walking towards the entrance, and I offer a smile. As we pass, I hear one of them whisper how much I look like some woman called Katie, and when I turn back, both women are looking back at me.
I stop and turn fully around. “Can I help you with something?” I ask.
The officers stop, a look passing between them before the tallest of the two walks back towards me.
“I’m sorry, it’s just you reminded me of someone, that’s all.”
“I hope that’s a good thing,” I say.
“Well, yes and no, actually,” she says a little hesitantly. “You look like my friend Katie, but unfortunately she died last year.”
“Oh, I am sorry.”
“It’s fine. It was a year ago now, but it surprised me to see someone who looks so much like her. You could easily have been twins.”
I offer her my condolences again, and then Jay and I leave. Her words replay in my head over and over on the drive home as though I’m missing something. Story of my life. The thoughts are pushed away as we pull up to a building I’ve not been to before.
“What is this place?” I ask Jay as we step from the car.
He turns to me with a small frown and says, “This is mine and Seb’s place for now.”
If I look confused, it’s because I am, but Jay doesn’t comment further and just leads me inside.
