                   She wasn’t really listening. ‘What’s that?’

                   He   was   shy,   she   realised.   Bad   with   eye   contact.   Quite   endearing.   ‘You
                know,  that  Ryan  Bailey  film  you  wanted  to  watch.  We  saw  the  trailer  for  it.
                You said it’s meant to be funny and I did some research and it has an eighty-
                six per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and it’s on Net flix so . . .’

                   She  wondered  if  Dylan  would  believe  her  if  she  told  him  that  in  one  life
                she   was   a   lead   singer   of   an   internationally   successful   pop-rock   band   and
                global   icon   who   had   actually   dated   and   voluntarily   broken   up   with   Ryan
                Bailey.

                   ‘Sounds    good,’   she   said,   as   she   stared   at   an   empty   crisp   packet   floating
                across the sparse grass.
                   Dylan rushed off the bench to grab the  packet and dropped it into the  bin
                next to the bench.

                   He  flopped  back  to  Nora,  smiling.  Nora  understood  what  this  other  Nora
                saw in him. ere was something pure about him. Like a dog himself.
