I was so distracted in Dr Payne’s droning lecture on Milton that it was fifteen minutes before I realised I hadn’t actually written any notes. David leaned over to ask me if I was all right.“I’m fine,” I said, writing a quotation down at random.“You seem a bit restless.”“Just worrying about how much work I have to do!”“Don’t stress yourself out too much; it’s only the second week.”“Yeah, I’ll try not to.” I forced a smile.I’d said pretty much the same to Cara when I’d last Skyped her―once she’d finished telling me about all the cute guys she’d met at uni. I already wished I hadn’t mentioned David to her; she insisted on coming up to visit and meet him on her next free weekend. Knowing Cara, she’d frighten him off with her overwhelming personality.But, right now, David was the last thing on my mind, whatever Alex and Sarah seemed to think. They were convinced there was something going on between us, and nothing I said would deter them.At least they were none the wiser about where I’d spent Wednesday afternoon.
