The alcohol was relaxing and for a while I tried to let the music chase away the sadness that haunted me. The crowd at the back and around the sides were cheering and the music swelled, drowning them out as the band reached a chorus. A beat started from the back as the drummer began to play, and then the rest joined in. Marc leaned into the microphone and spoke in rapid French, to which everyone cheered as he moved back again allowing the lead singer to take his place at the front. I sipped my drink and watched in anticipation as a spotlight narrowed and focused on the group on the stage. When Felix got back we found a table and sat down. "Do you reckon I could get a drink?" I asked him, before he could question me further. "We met during a kidnapping!" Marc grinned.įelix looked at me with raised eyebrows, but I shrugged and said it was just a joke. Marc nodded politely before Felix asked the question I'd been dreading. "Jéhenne, you came!" He laughed delightedly, kissing me on both cheeks before turning to Felix. I grinned as he put his guitar down carefully before bounding over to say hello. He looked up and saw me, then gave a shout of recognition. The place was packed to bursting and as I looked around I noticed a familiar figure working on a guitar with the rest of the band. The solid mass of muscle packed into a suit grinned and stood back a bit to let us both pass. Felix greeted the huge guy acting as a bouncer on the door. He put his arm around my shoulder and led me straight to the front of the queue. "Sure, every thing's fine," I said, trying to convince myself, that I was looking forward to this.Īfter a twenty minute drive we arrived at a bar in town where a small crowd of people, mostly my age, were waiting outside.įelix parked across the street and as we approached I noticed how the girls raised their eyebrows in interest when they saw him. "Everything OK?" he asked, with a casual lift of his eyebrows. He looked me over, his gaze taking too long, lingering on my outfit and I scowled at him. I said a hasty goodbye and ran out the door, smiling at Felix as he leaned against the door of his car. I didn't bother asking why as it was becoming more and more difficult to talk to her, so it was a relief when I heard the roar of an engine outside the cottage. Gran had casually asked where I was going, and when I told her she seemed strangely pleased. I felt guilty about going out to enjoy myself when the funeral had only been a week ago, but I was so tired of my own misery that I couldn't wallow in it any longer. He'd shrugged and said fine, but there was something in his eyes that told me he wasn't about to give up that easily. I was still nervous about seeing him though and I'd made it very clear that this was not a date, that I couldn't even think about dating at the moment. Gran liked him and encouraged him to come over whenever he wanted. He'd been by a few times recently and we'd chatted over a coffee. I sent a text to make sure that he was still free and then it was just a matter of filling the day until he arrived to pick me up. Felix had offered to take me to see a band and I was going to go. One morning I decided my life as a hermit had to end sooner rather than later, so I vowed to make a change. As the days dragged on and the weather grew ever hotter, I began to spend a lot of time indoors, just occasionally sitting outside, under the shade of a tree.
