Having Freddie in my house is doing mad things to me. Images of him carrying me over the threshold after our wedding, making crazy passionate love in every room of the house, and bringing our babies home from the hospital together are taking over my thoughts. He’s what I’ve always wanted, what I’ve always envisioned my future to be.

I moved into this house shortly after Reg died and I needed to be closer to Lola. To keep an eye on her, to make sure she was as okay as she said she was. I never expected it to be years later that I’d see Freddie in here. But he chose to stay away. Now, though, he’s here. And I know he’s snooping around my living room as I make him a coffee in my kitchen.

But I don’t mind. I want him to see the pictures of all of us I have all over the room. Photos from our past, reminders of the good times we had.

The two mugs of steaming coffee smell divine and I quickly take a sip as I walk over the plush carpet in my bare feet. When I get to the living room door, I find him fixated on a photo of us. I thought that night was going to be a turning point in our relationship. That we’d take the flirty banter to another level. But Lola’s boyfriend broke up with her, and instead we spent the night consoling her.

That picture though, is one of my favourites. Taken from afar, we’re around a campfire on a beach in Devon, the flames dancing in front of us as we stare into each other's eyes. Lola framed it and gave it to me, but on the back of the frame she wrote, ‘the look of love,’ and it always makes me smile when I look at it. Sometimes I wish I could go back to then, be the carefree eighteen-year-old who was crazy in lust with her bestie’s twenty-three year old brother. Filled with so much hope and yearning.

He gently runs his finger over the glass and a myriad of emotions cross his face. I almost feel intrusive being here and seeing the vulnerability shine from his features. I shuffle a little further into the room and he snaps out of his melancholy and lifts his gaze to mine. He smiles again which makes me grin back.

“Coffee?” I offer him the mug and he steps forward to take it.

“I was admiring your pictures. We had some good times, didn’t we?” I motion to the sofa and he waits for me to sit down first.

Secretly I love his gentlemanly behaviour, but instead of showing him that I roll my eyes at his chivalry. “Don’t roll your damn eyes at me, Pheebs. I’m trying to be a gentleman here.”

“Well maybe I don’t want a gentleman.” I mumble quietly against the rim of my mug, but, judging by his soft chuckle, not so quietly that he doesn’t hear..

“So tell me what you do want, Pheebs.
