”Nooooooooooooo, at all” she laughs nervously ”That would be my best friend..who is outside right now”
”Annalisa is here?” Tonia looks at the door, Tom too, everyone does.

”Yeah.”
Darren looks away, Tonia doesn’t miss that ”I thought she was out of town?”
”She was, came in last night and you sent an invite so…”

”I didn’t think she would show..”
”Oh so it was a formality?” Lucy clarifies ”She was right”
”Don’t be like that, it was an invite and..oh never mind, why isn’t she coming in?”
”You know… big elephant in the room” she c---s her head to Darren

He shakes his head ”It’s fine really, that was tons of years ago… it’s fine, she should not lock herself away because I am in town, it’s fine”

”Se, its fine” Tonia smiled relieved ”All is right in the world. Unless the new girl don;t want her here?”

”Me?” Tammy asks ”Nonsense! I would love to see the girl who got away, it’s the way he describes her”

They laugh, Darren doesn’t let it reach his eyes.

”Well, don;t worry, she isn’t coming in, I have her car keys so she isn’t leaving either”
”Baddass!!” Tonia exclaims
”You know it!” They smile
”Hell, she can’t be there all alone because of a misunderstanding, let me go get her..” Tom excuses himself. Darren takes his wine to his lips, Tammy leans in whispering into his ears, his eyes didn’t leave the door.
