There was something oddly familiar about this man; something in his easy smile and the set of his head. Something that made her feel uneasy.

She saw him exchange a few quick words with the people around him; clearly making his excuses before moving towards her. Amy’s mouth was dry. She stared about the room, looking for a means of escape, but before she had taken more than a step or two towards the nearest door he had crossed the space between them and stood before her.
‘My God, Amy! It is you!’ said Jimmy.
