when: 19 September 1980 where: Farmer’s Market; Banchory who: Nell + @percivalrobards
It had not happened in so long, such a deep bout of insecurity that had Nell wanting to hide her face behind the nearby Autumn squashes. Janey and all 5′10 of her stood beside Nell, as radiant as can be and only feet away did her brown eyes catch the sight of him approaching. First, she wished to never feel this way again. A self-conscious flame burned brightly inside her being and it should never have have existed, never because of Janey. This felt all too dirty. And two, she felt shame for wondering if his reputation with beautiful women would proceed him or not. Third and final, she hoped he would not look their way. She didn’t always get what she asked.
“Oh hi, Perc.” Metaphorically, she took a deep breath and hoped this one introduction would not change everything for her. “This is my best friend, Janey.”
Nell was a horrible, awful person.
