Emmy

Well? How did last night go???

Briony

It was lovely. He was lovely

Emmy

Lovely isn’t a word I’d have used for Ryan…

C’mon, give me the good stuff. Did you keep your clothes on this time?

Briony

Yes

Though only because Ryan insisted. After a couple of sangrias, I was all for taking them off

Emmy

BRIONY! I’m shocked! (And impressed!)

I need more deets. Can I call you?

Briony

Go ahead

Innes

Innes

We’ve arrived in St Andrews. Mum spent most of the drive grumbling about you going on a date with an MMA fighter

She’s not quite in holiday mode yet

Briony

Innes

I tried fighting your corner. I told her Ryan seemed decent when we met

Briony

Thanks, bro

Innes

Personally, I’m all for it, btw. Imagine the Axe King at Friday night dinner!

Fancy bringing him round once we’re back?
