‘Aw bless him. If you don’t think Gavin would mind, that would be great, please?’ Wendy smiled.
‘I’ll check with him, but I’m more than ninety-nine percent sure he’ll be happy having an extra one for the evening.’
‘Right, with everything decided, let’s eat this lot up before it gets too cold.’ Elsie indicated the pizza on the table.

‘That’ll be two poundsand twenty pence, please?’ Evie grinned over the counter at the small toddler.
Standing on her tiptoes, the toddler held up her hands; the coins clasped tightly inside. ‘Here, go.’
‘Thank you.’ Reaching down, Evie took the money.
‘Sorry, I know it’s a pain, but she likes to do it herself.’ The girl’s mum laughed and shook her head.
‘That’s not a problem.’ Evie grinned as she popped the money in the till before waving at the small girl as she skipped outside.
‘Morning.’
‘Hi, Jack.’ Grinning, Evie leaned across the counter and kissed him on the lips, savouring the familiar tingle as his skin touched hers.
‘I thought I’d pop by and see if you wanted to pop out on your lunch break?’
‘Oh, I can’t today. Sorry. I’ve promised Elsie I’ll go with her to the florists to order the wedding flowers. Are you still free to go to the cinema with Diane and Harry this evening, though?’
‘Absolutely. No worries, I’ll see you this evening then. I’d best dash.’ He tapped the counter.
‘Okay. Have a good day.’ Grinning, she waved at him.
‘You too.’ Blowing her a kiss, he disappeared out of the door and back out onto the cobbles.
‘Things are going well between you two, aren’t they?’ Diane nudged her shoulder.
‘Yes, they are.’ Evie shook her head and laughed. ‘And to think I’d vowed to myself years ago that I’d never risk getting into a relationship just to get hurt.’
‘I don’t think Jack will hurt you. You two look as though you’re made for each other.’ Diane grinned.
