"I was only a few months ahead, so I can imagine how a few years could chnage a lot," she told her. She really sympathised with her, she'd really not wanted to see Sid again, but he'd been here if only for a little while. It was different with Chris though, yes being with him broke her heart a little bit everyday knowing he was ill but being too scared to tell him what would happen, but she was so happy to have him back, alive and safe. "So...you're the one ahead?" she asked. God when had this kind of discussion become so normal?
"Months now," she confirmed, sipping her drink again. "It does get a bit easier actually, I don't know why I said it didn't? It just sort of...comes and goes I guess," she shrugged. "Just don't think you're used to it, cos that's when the really wierd stuff happens."
