Worst Feeling in the World

Gwen has a new favourite lunch spot. The caff’s owner makes divine eggs and it’s a favourite with the uniformed police.

She spots Amy at one of the outside tables. They’ve talked a few times and she hopes they’ll become friends.

‘What’s with the gloomy face, Ames?’

‘You know when you did the best you could and it still wasn’t enough?’

Gwen does but she can hardly admit it. Too many awkward questions and she can’t trust Amy. Not yet.

‘That’s the kind of day I’ve been having.’

‘Nightmare, Ames. Wanna tell me?’

Making a cop friend definitely trumps work.
