To be fair, there’s some minor editing but most of what you might have read before is still the same. But now the story continues a little further, so you get to see how it all works out, or not, or whatever else might happen in between.
"So Mum, about tonight..."
"You're date?"
"Yeah. About that."
We were sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee, just me and Mum. Dad was working late as always, and my little brother Josh was out playing football, as always.
