I was sitting at the bar that evening, with my shirt sleeves rolled up and my tie loosened at my neck. I’d already had two, and I asked for a third. It was strange seeing Fay again. I knew that we should have talked more. I should have found a way of telling her that she had given me a lot to think about, but she had been in such a rush to get away from me.

She’d tried to convince me that there was some appointment she had to go to, but I didn't entirely believe her. There was still a part of me which thought that was just an excuse. She had seen me, and it was me she was running from.

I felt Isaac’s hand on my shoulder. I turned on the bar stool to see him standing behind me, with a big grin on his face.

“I see you’re finally letting yourself go!” he remarked, noticing my loose tie and my rolled up sleeves. I wasn’t usually this careless about my clothes, but today, I had a lot on my mind.

Isaac took the stool beside me and ordered a whiskey for himself. We knew each other from school. In college, I had met my four best friends. We had still managed to keep the friendship going strong. Isaac was one of my best friends. He was a professor now. He was considered an expert in the field of English Literature, which was a completely different profession from mine. It was a profession I didn’t quite understand. I had always been more of a Science nerd myself.

“You started early,” Isaac commented when he saw the two empty glasses beside me. I shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s been a long day. What can I say,” I told him while I drank from my third glass.

I could sense Isaac’s eyes on me, observing me. We had known each other for a long time, long enough for him to detect that something was wrong.

“When did you get back from London?” I asked him, trying to deflect attention. I knew he had gone to the University of Bath or some other, to attend some English conference. Isaac was a high flying personality in his field.

“Last evening, when I texted you, I thought something was off. What’s been up with you?” he asked, thanking the bartender when he got his drink.

“Nothing much, the usual, surgeries and consultations. You know what it’s like,” I told him, avoiding his eyes.

“No more TV shows in the mix?” he asked, and I scoffed. I didn’t want to be reminded of TV shows, because that made me think of Fay and how thoroughly I had fucked things up with her. I still didn’t know why I cared so much. She had a strange effect on me. I couldn’t come to terms with it.

“You look like something’s bothering you, man, and it might be good to get it off your chest. A bad surgery? Something at the hospital?” he asked as I glared at him.
