RP: To Mend a Broken Heart Who: Terry Boot and Michael Corner When: November 25, 2002 Where: Michael's townhouse on Guernsey Island (St. Peter's Port) Private/Public: Private Rating: TBD Summary: Terry's just been dumped, and Michael's being a good friend.
Michael had received an owl from Terry mentioning that he didn't feel that great. Naturally, the thing to do - even in November - when one didn't feel great was to spend some time at the seaside. Luckily, Michael lived on Guersey Island in the Channel, and though his townhouse wasn't directly on the beach, it was only a few minutes' walk to get there. So he'd owled Terry a return letter asking him to come for a visit. Being in a stuffy city would do him absolutely no good.
Michael was a strangely domestic creature, perhaps something driven into him as a small child by his mother. However, he'd put out fresh towels. He'd actually rolled them in a little bucket with fancy soaps that was not perched on the counter in the guest bathroom. He'd also put flowers throughout the house to make it look happier. Finally, Michael had gone to the market and created a welcome basket for Terry consisting of fruit and chocolate. Obviously, Michael adored having announced company come to visit.
Now all that was missing was Terry Boot. Michael sat down in a chair in the kitchen to await his arrival.
