    well  fuck  me.   what’s the best thing to do when you’re in a bar  &.  see your ex-husband you’ve narrowly avoided for years?  because you don’t want to alert trouble to your group of friends by leaving the crime scene,  but there’s a risk of reunion.  a reunion that would please none in this whole damn bar.  so what do you do?    ...   sid looks away,   swallows the last of her drink,  forces dropped smile back, and pretends she was blind the last ten seconds.   nothing healthier than denial  &.  avoid,  right?

   whether or not she’s seen the rest of the night,  sid wouldn’t know.  she gives her back  &.  not her front;  out of sight,  out of mind.  but there comes a time in every drinkers night when it’s time to break the seal.   sid excuses herself with a brush to the shoulder,  and some few words,  and comes to face the agonisingly long queue to the ladies.

    upon closer inspection,  the men’s room has no line,  and is probably vacant.  so...   “ fuck it,  “  sid mutters,  skirting out of the waiting game  &.  into the available restroom that just so happens to not allow ladies.   good thing she’s no lady.

   which is all well &. good,  until two flushes sound in sync,  as do the opening doors,  and out of each of the stalls freeze two former lovers.  owen and sydney appear as two animals caught in snare;  the same wide eyes,  the still shock.  neither the hunter,  because neither wanted this.

      “ uh---  hi... “    and why does she sound meek?  sydney quin is NEVER meek.   she reeks of it and she knows it.  desperate to convince them both otherwise,  she psychically appears taller,  straightening her posture,  forcing smile when it’s the last thing that’s natural right now.  washing her hands at the sink,  she attempts to repair first impression,  “  out celebrating?  “   be normal sid.  be fucking normal.
