Alicia fidgeted with the rings hanging on her necklace. Her fingers had swollen over the past month, making it almost impossible to get her engagement ring and wedding band on and off without causing herself injury. She felt naked without them, but at least they were still close.
For what must have been the 50th time in the past two minutes, she looked around the pub, hoping to spot Angie, though she knew that even if it still took her old friend another ten minutes to get here, she would still be there before the 30 minute deadline Alicia had set, more as a guideline than as an actual order. She had been scared, that had she started suggesting or asking what would suit Angie best, she would have started in on all those things that were better told – or shown, she mused, running her hand over the ever-expanding bump on her front – face to face.
She had worried sick about Angie, about all of her friends who hadn’t come through the Portal. She had been angry and upset and scared out of her mind and still hadn’t been able to find it in herself to blame them for having stayed. She felt privileged for the life she had started here, guilty, sometimes, when she heard the tales from the most recent arrivals, and she felt a little uncomfortable for not having waited until Angie or Katie or preferably both had been here.
But now Angie was, and that thought alone had a bright smile spread on Alicia’s face as she signalled to Lisa that she would like a refill on her apple juice. And then she looked towards the door again.
