    last few rays before the sunset. Between them was a large ice bucket full of beers and it was clear that they had been working through them for a good chunk of the day. Cheerily Mat waved us over. “Hey guys you took your time what time do you want to leave for town?” Lana pulled out a couple of beers, using my bottle opener I popped their lids and handed her one back, we slumped down into the deck chairs left free. “We can head off shortly but it looks like we have some catching up to do,” said Lana, gesturing to the empty bottles surrounding them. A couple of beers each and we gave a quick shout up the stairs. Mat's younger sister had recently passed her test and was able to drop the lot of us at the station. Pete hopped in the front of the old Toyota and Mat, Lana and I squeezed into the back. Needing support in the back of the car and nowhere to put my hands I gripped the back of the seat, my arm crossing Lana's shoulders, she then clasped her arm around my waist. That brief intimacy felt different to usual. As if something was left unspoken. Shrugging off the feeling, we got off at the train station bought our tickets and headed on into town. Reaching the bar we entered on in flashing ID as we went and headed up to the bar itself. Ordering a round of shots for Mat's birthday we had decided tonight was going to be no holds barred night.

Or had something changed this night, like a veil had been lifted and we were seeing each other for the first time, instead of kissing, Lana and I held each other tight for what seemed like an eternity but could have easily been a few moments. We let go and followed after Pete and Mat who had waved over a taxi and were talking to the driver, it was cheaper to go to one house and crash for the night. As we wondered over Lana piped up “You guys are welcome to crash at mine if you want save yourselves a bit of money and just walk home in the ...
