\u201cIs it always like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
I look around to find a young fellow who looks a little familiar standing next to me on the crowded platform. I am still trying to place him when he intervenes;<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t quite remember me, do you? I\u2019m the fencing club\u2019s, vice-president\u2019s boyfriend. We met at a party at the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
It all comes rushing back, and I am slightly embarassed by the fact that I probably did not quite remember him because I was off my face; as usual. It\u2019s no secret that I don\u2019t fence, or that I only really hang around with the University fencing club because of a social coincidence years before, but I imagined that this guy was wondering what on Earth I had been doing at that party.<\/p>\n
Again he intruded on my inner monologue;<\/p>\n
\u201cYou remember? I\u2019m Ted?\u201d<\/p>\n
I decide to go with it;<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Ted. Sorry about that. Monday morning you know? Yeah, Gina\u2019s chap, I do remember. Just about anyway. Was I very drunk?\u201d<\/p>\n
He nodded and chuckled; I kept my face together, but inside my heart was sinking.<\/p>\n
