Still very much in progress and without a name but this is why there's been a bit of an absence of updates.
Jess: Jess flinched back as she felt the pressure of a human foot where the sloped carpet should have been.
“Sorry.” She looked up into the tall man’s eye and felt herself stop grinning. She couldn’t be sure in this instant that it was him. But of course it was. She wouldn’t feel suddenly cold if it wasn’t. Her heart started beating double time and as quick as the shiver had covered her she felt her face and neck burning.
“Tom.” She knew it was stupid to say someone’s name at them. The man frowned and she felt suddenly that she had made a fool of herself.
Tom: “Sorry.” A foot was on top of his and a girl was apologising. He looked up to flash her a grin. She was pretty. Shoulder length dark blonde hair, tall. It wasn’t that he was surprised that she knew his name. But the Tequila had made him fuzzy and slow and he couldn’t say anything. He just couldn’t. He stared at Jess for a moment and then she was gone. He saw her flash through the glass doors and followed past his table and on up the concrete path. He found her at the top, leaning on a gate. Hadn’t he expected to see her? Wasn’t that what the butterflies were about? He wasn’t sure now. All he felt was breathless shock.
