Was in my local nandos yesterday with my eldest who is 16, and who I considered telling about what I do for work. I didn't but that's another story.
He went to the toilet and I was sitting at the table in silence minding my own business and a voice said "Harriet? Harriet hi, it's me Paul. how are you?"
A client who I've seen about four times, mostly recently a week ago was standing there.
I said hi and that I was having a private lunch, but he lingered for a bit longer because maybe he was hoping for a hug or something..then after the longest minute of my life he said "OK well good to see you, bye" and walked off, and then as me and 16 were leaving a bit later he fucking saw me and waved. Thankfully 16 seemed to have missed. All of this by some miracle.
I was seething all night.
