Not Invited - Paula Puddephatt
What Are You Doing Now?
Allison definitely had mixed feelings about reconnecting with her old school friends, Rachel and Bryony. Yes, she had known them both since primary school and, for years, had clung to the concept of their enduring friendship.
But Rachel had got married at nineteen, and started churning out babies. Bryony, meanwhile, had become a career girl, working in marketing. What the hell did Allie have in common with either of these women nowadays?
Still, too late now, as they were, all three, seated in the Red Lion, their old local, drinks duly ordered and placed in front of them.
You look amazing, Rachel,
