That explained a lot- it wasn't just about the boyfriend, it was also about the best friend. About, she guessed, friendships shifting. She knew about Wayne's thing against Harold (seriously, who didn't) but she thought he'd gotten over it. Apparently not.
On the other hand, Verity liked Wayne, though, and thought Harold was a bit slimy. "Not much I can think of with Bole. They won't send in Aurors until the virus is safe. But..." She felt bad for saying it. "... are you sure he's..." She so didn't have the right to tell Sally to dump Harold. "Are you Harold's worth waiting for?"
