“I changed my mind, I don’t want to go.” My reluctant whine filled the
carriage of the lunchtime train to Manchester, alongside its musty smell and
sticky floor. I didn’t want to even consider the state of the seats or what
hotbed of germs might lurk in them. Cassie frowned and let out a frustrated
sigh.
“You’re not getting out of this,” A smug little smile worked its way onto
her mouth, she knew she had the winning card. “You promised.”
The train rattled into a dark tunnel, leaving me with my thoughts. Cassie
had persuaded me to let her set up a blind date. I had agreed to meet one
person for one coffee, and even that didn’t seem a great idea right now. In
her opinion, four years of being single was way too much, but it suited me
fine. My life was exactly what I wanted, working as a legal secretary at
Draper & Hughes, with the best commute in the world as I rented the flat
above the office. My social circle was small but perfect – me and my two
best friends.
My stubborn features remained screwed up. “So, remind me, who am I
meeting? Who am I being thrown into the lions’ den with?” My stomach
was in knots. I knew she meant well, but I didn’t think she completely
understood the anxiety it stirred up.
Cassie’s face lit up with delight as she thrust her phone towards me, his
photograph on display once again. “Zack, who is also twenty-seven and
lives in Cheshire. He’s a lawyer.”
“Why is that a good thing?” I asked. “It’s not like on Netflix. I keep
telling you this. Most lawyers are boring as hell.”
She didn’t respond. To be fair to her, the guy looked lovely. The photo
seemed to have been taken at a work function or something similar. He
wore a well-cut suit, it looked designer, I had a soft spot for men who
dressed well. He was holding a champagne glass, which always worked for
me. His hair was great, I had to admit – sort of short at the sides and then a
longer length and well styled on top – it suited him. It was a gorgeous shade
of dark brown, almost matching a dark, chocolatey mocha that I would treat
myself to at weekends. I looked up at Cassie, who still sported the excited
grin.
“See, you like him! I told you I’d choose someone nice.”
I frowned at her. “How tall is he?”
“Five-eleven,” she replied, her eyes narrowing, as if daring me to
object.
“I bet he lied, and he’s only five-nine really, so I’ll never be able to wear
heels with him.” Five-nine was my height, and it had caused me paranoia
for a long time as my ex-boyfriend had hated me looking taller than him,
but I adored heels.
“Lily, why would he lie when he’s about to meet you? You’d obviously
notice.”
