‘Of course! Why?’
‘Oh - you just seem a bit distracted.’
‘Rache - I’m fine - honestly.’
Rachel bit her lip. ‘Look - don’t you think we should talk about-’
‘About what?’
‘You know!’
‘Oh Rache! For goodness sake!’
‘Well - it’s important!’
‘We do!’
‘Hardly! I mean - it’s like you don’t want to touch me.’
‘It’s not that.’
‘Then what is it?’
He stared at her. ‘I do- I’m going to get ready for dinner.’ He walked away and ignored the uncomfortable silence.

He was busy typing on his laptop when Richard entered the Cafe, he watched him, even when he was studiously working he was easy on the eye.
‘Hi!’
‘Hi’
‘Coffee?’
He smiled slightly. ‘Maybe if you looked up - you’d see that I have one.’
‘Oh yes!’
‘So...How are you?’
‘Fine.’
Adam grinned. ‘You haven’t changed you know, since we were young, I was just thinking about it-’
‘I can’t see you anymore.’
‘What?’
Richard forced himself to look at him. ‘I said I can’t see you anymore.’
‘Yes - so you keep saying.’
‘Well, I’m just enforcing it.’
