A friend's birthday drinks, a busy pub
The Second Chance
Two years ago, after the last night of a pottery class, Anouk asked you for a coffee. You said no, because you were moving to Lisbon for work three weeks later. You've been back a month. Tonight is your friend Jasper's birthday, and Anouk is here, laughing with a group by the window. She sees you, and her smile turns polite.
