For the first time in his life Scott was in love, it was brilliant, he felt like a king. He’d just returned from a two week trip with work and he missed Mary so much. He was so happy to be home.
That night they went to the bar and met up with everyone. It had only been a couple of weeks but it was great to see everyone again. Mary went to talk to the girls while Scott played a game of pool.
While he was busy losing at pool, he noticed the girls seemed to be having quite an involved discussion, he wandered over with a fresh round of drinks and the table fell silent.
“Everything alright girls?”
“Yeah, just girl talk.”
“Fair enough.”
He assumed they were talking about womanly issues and he was grateful to not be involved in that discussion. He returned to his game of pool and continued to lose the game.
Last orders were called and last drinks were drunk.
Scott & Mary said goodnight to everyone and headed home.
“I really missed you, I love you so much.” Scott blurted out
“We need to talk.” Mary said ominously
