Chapter 14

Kathy wanted to visit a cocktail bar before we met up with the twins, but I refused point blank. The night was going to be difficult enough as it was without getting drunk so early in the evening. I suggested we get coffee and a snack.

“What’s wrong with you, Jill?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you allergic to having fun?”

What did she mean? I could do ‘fun’. “I don’t see what’s fun about getting drunk.”

“We don’t have to get drunk. Just something to take the edge off.”

“Like on your birthday?” That was a low blow considering it had been my ‘sleep’ spell, and not the drink, which had knocked her out on her birthday—the last time we were out together.

“Just take a look at yourself, Jill. You’re young. You’re single. And yet, you never seem to have any fun. No wonder you can’t get a guy.”

“That’s not fair. Who says I can’t get a guy?”

“You know what I mean. I’m married with kids, but I still know how to have a good time. YOLO.”

“Yo what?”

“YOLO. You Only Live Once.”

“Where do you come up with these stupid acronyms?”

“Everyone uses them. Everyone apart from you, apparently.”

“Can I help it if I like to speak in English?”

“No more than you can help being boring.”

“I am not boring! I know how to let my hair down. I can be just as wild as the next person.” There, that had told her. “Now, come on, the library is just around the corner.”

“Are you kidding me? Is that your idea of letting your hair down?”

“There’s a coffee shop in the basement. They have cupcakes.”

“You really do like to walk on the wild side, don’t you?”

I ignored Kathy’s moans and groans as I led the way through the library.

“Hold on,” she said, just as I was about to take the stairs to the basement.

I flinched when I saw her studying the noticeboard which was full of flyers from reading groups and amateur dramatics clubs.

“I’m not going to any more am-dram productions.” I’d had my fill of bad scripts and acting for one year.

“Look!” She pointed a ‘greentastic’ nail at a small white sheet of paper in among the more colourful flyers. “What do you think?”

“What do I think about what?”

“This job. The hours would be ideal for me.”

“Since when were you looking for a job?”

The notice gave details of a part-time vacancy for someone to stack shelves with the books that had been returned.

“I need something to do now the kids are both at school. I’m going stir crazy stuck in the house all day with nothing to do.”

“What about the housework?”

“You sound like Pete. I need to get out. I need to do something more exciting than housework.”

“Do you really think that stacking books would be exciting?”

“At least I’d get out of the house. Plus I’d get to talk to other people.”

“You talk to me.”

“Yeah, but you don’t count. And besides, you’re boring. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m too late.” Kathy sighed. “Applications had to be in last Friday.
