"Alice tried a few times, before I just had to sit her down and be all, 'I appreciate the effort and the thought, but it's really not the best time'. So the awkward first dates stopped."
Jamie laughed. "And I woke up and found this strange lady with pink hair making coffee. And then she just kind of...never left. Which turned out to be awesome."
Roxanna smiled, feeling a rush of gratitude towards her. "Tell you the truth...I'm just pleased to have some friends," she said softly.
Jamie gathered her up into a hug. "I think you're sort of stuck with us now," he told her. "Sorry not sorry."
Roxanna just laughed, glancing up at the ceiling to stop the tears that had been pricking her eyes from falling.
