“Uh-huh.”
“And does this someone like rugby?”
“Yeah.”
“And you asked Jamie?”
I nod.
“Why not Ryan?”
“Because he’s an idiot and he would take the piss out of me.”
At least, that’s true.
“Probably, yeah… And how come you have Jamie’s number?”
Oh, I’m never getting out of this one.
“The other night at your place, I gave him my number, you know, for that stomach problem.He called me to ask for advice about medication, so now I’ve got his number.He asked how he could repay me, and then…”
How much bullshit am I spewing?Am I ever going to remember all of this?
“And he really called you about his problem?”
“So it seems.”
By now, I’m in full-on panic mode.
“Well, Martin.For a guy who can’t say shit, you sure put in a lot of effort this time.You can tell the game is worth it.”
I don’t answer her; it would be pointless.By now, Chris has already set off, circumnavigating the globe in search of the promised land.She won’t stop until her ship docks at the right port.
I read his message again while she eats and talks.
Are you free tonight?

“Any plans for tonight?”
I turn to Ian so fast I nearly drop my phone.
“What?No!”
Ian gives me a dubious look.
“I mean, nothing special.”
