Dec was back? Dec was back!

Dan’s plane would be in the air by then, so at least I wouldn’t be torturing myself wondering if he’d text. I’d just be rereading the ones he’d already sent.

A two-week honeymoon with a total stranger

The rule of black-tie hair: if your dress is super-glamorous, go for a loose, gentle hairstyle (try some hot rollers). If your dress is low-key, balance it with a chic up-do (try a slick low bun). And please, no glitter.

When I arrived at Iz’s at ten past seven I was dangerously dependent on fun people to lift my mood, and was trying desperately not to feel nervous about seeing Dec for the first time since we’d kissed. The table wasn’t set, the food was still in grocery bags, and Dec and Iz were drinking beers on the balcony. This was far from ideal. I was ravenous – ready to eat my own appendages – and a scene indicating I was hours away from being fed was not what I wanted to find. I tried not to be snarly.

‘I see dinner is about to be served?’ I said as I opened the sliding door to the balcony. Mission not to be snarly had failed, then.

‘Oh shit, Han’s in a food mood. Quick, Dec, offer your arm.’

‘Hi Han.’ He smiled and my heart melted a little bit. He was a rude shade of health. His skin was tanned, his teeth freakishly white, his hair had grown a little and he had a freshly shaven face: he looked fragrance-advertisement incredible. There was a warmth in his eyes that I’d missed the last time I’d seen him. Maybe he was in love again? Or back with Pia?

He took me inside. ‘You look amazing, Hannah. You been on holiday?’

I blushed and adjusted my hair. ‘Um, nope. But thank you. So, Dec, what brings you back to these parts?’

‘I’ve taken on a pretty huge telco client over here. They’re about to do a stream of massive teen-consumer events, which means I’ll be back and forth for a while, annoying my dear sister and crashing in her spare room to sleep among all of her derelict saucepans… Are you sure you’re not on a detox or something? You’re glowing.’

I blushed again and shook my head.

‘Dec, cut it out, you’re killing her. Now, Han, a beer? Some wine?’

Grateful for the distraction, I turned my attention to Iz. ‘I’m cool for now, actually. Starving, though – can I steal some crackers or something? I’ll find them—’

‘I’ll get you some, you stay here.’

Ah, Dec, ever the gentleman. I watched after him as he walked out of the room.

I wondered if Dec would’ve mentioned the kiss to Iz. I doubted it, but they were exceptionally close.

‘Decka, can you please get on to that linguine you’ve been bragging about all day?’ Iz yelled. ‘Oh shit, what a pig! I didn’t even ask: did you get to say bye to Dan in the end?’

‘Who’s Dan?’ Dec asked as he came back in.

Whoa. Dec didn’t miss a beat.
