“See you both at the firework display?” Dan dropped Adam and Etty off at Adam’s home.

“Wouldn’t miss it for anything.” Etty waved goodnight as Dan’s small car turned and set off back towards the town.

“I’m sorry I abandoned you tonight.” Adam apologised as he squelched towards the house.

“That’s okay. I had fun with Brad. He’s really nice.” She flashed him a shy smile. “Besides, I think you’d rather be spending your free time with Meg.”

“Thanks, am I that obvious?” It would be embarrassing if she agreed.

Her smile widened. She tucked her arm in his as they walked the final few steps along the driveway. “Only to me because I know you, and she keeps looking at you, and you keep looking at her.”

Adam drew out his key and opened the front door. He would be glad to take off his shoes so they’d have chance to dry out. Hopefully they would still be wearable after their saltwater immersion.

“So are you and Meg together?” Etty asked. “I know I should mind my own business.”

“No, we’re not.” He kicked off his shoes in the hallway with a sigh of relief. Etty slipped off her coat and hung it up. Adam’s elderly mother had gone to bed and the house was dark and quiet. Only the light from the small Christmas tree in the corner illuminated the space. Both of them kept their voices low so as not to disturb her.

“You two seem so good together.” Etty paused at the foot of the stairs.

He raked his hair back from his face unsure how to answer. “It’s complicated. Sometimes I think she likes me and then she backs right away.”

Etty nibbled on her lower lip, her pretty face thoughtful. “She seemed pretty interested to me. I mean she’s been perfectly nice to me and everything but I did wonder if she might be a bit, well, put out by me being here this weekend.”

Adam moved his shoulders in a small shrug. “I don’t know. Meg isn’t the kind of person to show you how she feels very easily.”

“I’m sure you’ll work it out.” She patted his arm.

“Maybe. Thanks Etty.”

She walked away upstairs leaving him alone with his thoughts in the hallway.
