CHAPTER SIX
I caught a taxi home shortly after. As luck would have it, Marty picked me up.
“Fancy seeing you again!” I said.
“It’s a small world.”
“Home please Marty, if you don’t mind. It’s been a… busy day.”
“Everything okay?”
I laughed, feeling every delicious, aching muscle. “More than okay, actually. I’ve just been on a date.”
His hands gripped the steering wheel. “How lovely. I hope you had fun?”
“Very much so.”
“Anyone important?”
“I… I don’t know. I thought that he’d changed, but it turns out he hasn’t. But then it also turns out I don’t mind him not changing, if that makes sense?”
Marty nodded sagely. “I guess it’s all in the degree of madness, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, it’s like crazy chicks, right? Everyone likes them a little wild; it’s only when they get over the top that things get out of hand. Maybe this date is like that. You like a little bit of the old him, you’re just hoping that you don’t get all of it.”
I frowned. “You know, that’s actually a really perceptive thought. I’m going to have to catch your cab more often.”
He laughed. “I’m sure that can be arranged.” He pulled a slightly battered card from his pocket. “Here. Call me any time you need a taxi.”
I took the card, oddly touched. “Thanks Marty. My car’s been playing up recently, I might just need it.”
He nodded, then continued. “You want my advice about this guy?”
“Sure, why not.”
“Be careful. He might be drip feeding you the ‘old him’ for the moment, but sooner or later he’s not going to be able to hold back the floodgates. When that happens? Well, you’ll wish you’d listened to old Marty’s advice.
