When we first met, she asked me all sorts of questions about my divorce, and she’s been demanding to know if I fancy anybody ever since. But I’ve never told her how I feel about Mr Egg-and-Cress because I’m scared she’ll embarrass me.
It was bad enough when she told Mr Panini I was single because I used to laugh at all his jokes.
Thankfully, he saw the funny side and told us cheerfully he wasn’t available because he had a husband at home. But I was mortified, and it would be 10 times worse if Louisa said anything to Mr Egg-and-Cress because he’s just my type.
I’ve been taken with him since he first walked in a few weeks ago. And I’m surprised Louisa hasn’t noticed, to be honest, because my voice sounds strange when I speak to him and I blush sometimes too.
It’s ridiculous really, and I was just as pathetic when I bumped into him in the pub last night. Suddenly noticing he was standing next to me at the bar when I went to get drinks for me and my friend, I blurted out all sorts of rubbish and found myself blushing again.
