Arthur stood with Rebecca and Joe, propping up the bar. She loved him. He tasted his lips before drinking the single malt in his hand. “Where did Vicky go?”

Joe sipped his drink before answering. “She left.”

“Really?” Rebecca frowned.

“You do not want to know what she said.” Joe gave them both an apologetic nod.

Arthur half-crossed his arms, resting his glass against his chin. “Oh, I do.”

“Slut and man stealer were involved.”

“She didn’t.” Arthur put his drink down. Though, he knew it was probably true. Being near Rebecca again felt like a warm memory. Vicky always made him feel disconnected, and he knew she was toxic for him. Holding Rebecca, the kiss, the sound of her voice melted away the sick tension that ate his sleep and well-being.

“This is the dullest one of these I’ve ever been to.” Joe sighed. “I know, we should ditch this place and go dancing.”

“Dressed like this?” Rebecca beamed.

Arthur watched the play between them, they were close, but something was missing.

“Come on, Rebecca.” He said her name long and low, and she rolled her eyes.

“What do you want to do, Arthur?”

“Get out of here, to be honest.” He’d had enough.

She took his hand, and Joe’s, and pulled them along. “Look at me with two hot guys.”

A middle-aged woman tutted, Joe laughed, and Arthur wanted to crawl up his own arse. He had never seen Rebecca so carefree. He liked it and wanted to be the same and remembered their water fight in the garden. The need to get back to that place bloomed.

A taxi arrived, and they went into town.

“Let’s go to Wards.” Joe beamed.

Rebecca scrunched her face up. “Ugh, no, too many annoying boys.”

“That was my point.” Joe winked.

Arthur frowned. “Am I missing something?”

“I’m not straight, not a man either, Non-binary actually. Kinda into men at the minute, not that I can seem to find one. You didn’t tell him?”

“You’re not out. Not my place.”

He grinned. Arthur had no idea, and a tiny flicker of hope kindled. “I’m glad you’re finding out who you are, are you using he or?”

“Still he for now. Honestly, I’m still figuring this shit out. Where are we going?”

“Passion House? I’ve never been.” Rebecca beamed.

“No,” Joe and Arthur said at the same time.

“That’s not the place for an innocent like yourself.” Joe gave her a pointed look.

“Why?”

“I went once, and believe me, it’s not for you.” He patted her hand.

“I have to go now.” She bounced on the seat, making Arthur smile.

“Tell her Art, come on, do you want to go in there? It’s not my scene.”

“Yeah, I’m not into that.”

“What?” Rebecca asked.

“Bondage and orgies.”

“Get out.” She laughed.

“No, it’s true,” Arthur said, unable to face her.

“Okay then, let’s go to Volts. Loads of cheese for dancing.” Rebecca clapped her hands.

The club was packed when they went in, and everyone looked sideways at them, and as Arthur undid his bowtie, Rebecca stared at his neck.

Arthur went for the drinks, and she and Joe found a spot.

Rebecca sipped her drink when she took it from him and glancing up she looked sweet.
