Alicia was grateful that Katie didn't press the issue on Pucey. Part of her thought that it was important for her to not express what had been going on there. Especially considering what she was actually going to tell her other friend.
"Well," she said, hesitating. "There was this guy. Older guy, really. He came into my work one day asking questions for the Ministry and then I ran into him a few days later. He ended up asking me on a date, and I said yes and well..." She trailed off. "After it felt a bit weird, but not that much. And then he asked me out again and.." She pressed her lips together, wondering how to say this. "I think he might be well.. one of them." She was careful not to say exactly who or what, because Merlin knew who was listening anymore.
"He just said some things and... he sort of gives me the creeps, and now I'm worried he might be actually interested, so I've been trying to avoid anything that might put me in contact with him."
That was alot, really, and if she was on the other end she wasn't sure she would have even followed it all.
