BECKY JENSEN FACEBOOK STATUS: Met a very hot guy! Way to get over a broken heart - just saying…

It was late afternoon by the time Becky swam leisurely over to the small timber jetty, and eased herself up onto it. After her awkward lunch with Gary and Polly, the swim in the lake was just what she needed to relax and regain her composure. Thankfully, Gary had been called away on a job, so her embarrassment over the whole tool bag incident had been cut relatively short.

He had thanked her graciously for the gift, which she insisted that he take with him. He had also apologized profusely after a talking down from Polly for not letting on to Becky sooner who he was. In his own defence, he had said that he simply could not let such a perfect opportunity to play a joke on her pass. “An ice breaker,” he’d said. She had, after all, thrown up in his tool bag, which he’d found most humorous, after Elise and Mallory had explained the whole story to him.

“It was so good to see the old Gary back,” Polly had explained after he had left them to enjoy their lunch. “He hasn’t been quite himself lately. Moping all over the place… He’s just recently been through a nasty breakup, you see.”

Fresh from her own recent breakup, Becky could certainly empathize, but still, did Gary have to make her look like a complete and utter twat? She’d refrained from talking about her own breakup. She was here to do a job, after all, and talking about personal problems might be viewed as being unprofessional. She nodded sympathetically as Polly spoke about her concerns for Gary, how badly he had taken the breakup with Wendy, and how happy she was that he was eventually moving on.

“Mallory did mention something to me about the breakup the other day,” Becky said. “So I completely understand.” Understanding did not stop her from feeling humiliated, though, and she would tell Gary, too, as soon as the opportunity arose, unless of course the mere sight of him left the words on the tip of her tongue, and unspoken.
