‘Matt mate, it’s Dan, how’s it going?’
‘OK, mate, all good. Just putting the twins to bed, they’ve been driving us mad, hang on.’ Matt shouted up the stairs. ‘Sara, be back up in a sec, just going to have a quick word with Dan.’
‘Don’t let me forget their birthdays will you?’ Dan stated. ‘You really shouldn’t have chosen me as their Godfather; you know how I always forget everything.’ Matt laughed as Dan carried on. ‘Mind you, I bumped into Jessy Morley at the weekend, I remembered her for sure.’
‘Jess, remind me?’ Matt scratched his head. ‘Oh God yeah, the older bird from years ago. How come?’
‘Spookily, she’s now married to Charlie’s old man!’
‘Bloody hell, how random is that, what’s she like now?’ Matt asked with interest.
‘Still fit actually.’
‘And would you still?’
‘Actually mate I can’t believe how I felt about her when I saw her. It was weird. Like it was only ten minutes ago, not ten years.’
‘But surely you wouldn’t go there again? I mean from how you talk about Charlotte, I thought she was your perfect match.’
‘She is a great girl, but there’s just something about Jess, it’s hard to explain. Charlie’s old man had just been caught with his pants down, so it all kicked off at the weekend.’
‘You do pick ‘em, mate. Shit, Sara’s shouting for me, I’d better go and help her. How’s Evie by the way?’
‘Thirteen going on twenty-three, you know what she’s like. Anyway, you get on. I’m over your way in a couple of weeks. I’ll drop by.’
‘Be good to see you, mate. Laters.’
