Stood up

Veronica is never late and I was worried, I was in a pub on my own trying to be anonymous.  I tried ringing her, no answer; read two more pages of my book and smiled fleetingly at the man sat at the next table.

It was the correct day, I checked the calendar on my phone, where is she?

At last I made contact and would you believe she was in Witherspoons at the other side of town; how did that happen?

We had a similar experience some years ago when we were both waiting at separate locations and returned home upset - this time Emilio took charge of the situation and arranged to pick me up, and kindly took us both out for lunch.

Is this a sign of things to come, we shall in future make contact on the landline before leaving home - no Albert I am not giving up my lunch appointments with Veronica!
