Who: Anthony Goldstein and "Ivy" (Gwendolyn Montgomery) When: Wednesday, 8 August, 1998 Where: A night club in London What: Letting off a little steam Rating: NC17
Returning to England, Anthony knew it could potentially be overwhelming. He just didn't know how sufficating it could be. He loved and had missed his parents and friends but at the moment, it was too much. Yes, he had disappeared but he was back now. He just wanted to get on with it.
Because of this feeling of being trapped, Ant decided that he needed to get out. Falling into old habits in a new location, Anthony headed out to a night club. He just had to get out. Preferably where the music was loud enough, the light dim enough and the alcohol strong enough for him to relax and let go of the tension he was holding on to.
Was Anthony escaping so he wouldn't have to think? Absolutely. He just didn't care at the moment. The nightclubs had offered Anthony solace before in Barcelona and he assumed the ones in London would do the same thing. That is how Anthony found himself in a night club in Central London drinking whiskey and looking over the room. He was feeling better already.
