Me: You OK?

Grace: That’s good ☺

Me: What’s going on there?

Grace: They’ve gone out so it’s just me and Josh☺

Me: Good. Meet tomorrow after work?

Grace: YES! YES! YES!

Me: OK… calm down! Costa at 5?

Grace: I CAN’T WAIT! Love you xx

Me: Love u 2. See u at 5 xx

Knowing Grace was safe and that I’ll be seeing her tomorrow, I lie back and let my mind wander to Neve. I try not to dwell on memories of cheeky texts she’d send me whilst she was in classes, or the increasingly sexy ones we’d send each other late at night. I refuse to go back and re-read them. I know the limits to my self-control.

I wonder what she’s doing, how she’s coping. Does she still think of it as coping? Or is she living? I wish I had the balls to ring Flynn and ask for every gory detail. A part of me wants her to be struggling, to be unhappy. That’s how fucked-up I am. But the bigger part wants her to be happy, or at least getting close to it. Looking at the clock, I imagine her at a party in a student house. They’re all playing drinking games. She’s sat in the circle, playing with her hair, hiding her heart-mark. There are several guys watching her, wanting her. One of them sits next to her, close enough that their knees touch. He laughs at something she says and gets her another drink. This time he sits even closer, leaning with one arm on her leg. She’s wearing a skirt. The same skirt she had on in the van when we went to Brighton. He starts stroking her leg and she looks over at him. Smiles. He leans in. She closes her eyes…

Oh, yeah, I’m so over her.
