Will she get her happy ever after, or is she destined to be married to her job forever?
Gill is about to go on her first date arranged by Happy Ever After dating agency
It had been agreed that Lisa would drop Gill off, and then join the girls in the pub next door, in case Gill needed rescuing. As Gill walked up the steps into Chez Molinières, laughter and the sound of several voices greeted her. It was Monday night. She’d picked this venue as she thought it would be quieter. It was five past seven. She’d tried to be on time, but Lisa wouldn’t allow it. ‘You have to make him wait. You can’t arrive before him,’ she said firmly, grabbing Gill by the wrist, as Gill once again tried to get out of the car. It simply wasn’t in her DNA to turn up late for anything. Finally giving in, she waited a few minutes before sliding out of the car . She had been watching the entrance to see if he arrived whilst she waited. But she hadn’t seen anyone go in who resembled him and he certainly wasn’t hanging around in the entrance vestibule. Bracing herself, Gill opened the door, holding it open to let an elderly gentleman pass her, and then she stepped inside. It was quite busy for a Monday, but as she entered she saw that most of the noise emanated from a group of about six men at the bar. Just then the waiter came to tell them their table was ready and she waited as they filed past her towards the restaurant , before she approached the bar . Gill glanced around as subtly as she could. Then she saw him. He was watching her. Smiling, he stood up and came towards her. ‘Gill. Nice to meet you. Anton.’ He kissed her on both cheeks. Flushing slightly, Gill murmured hello and, at his invitation, sat down. ‘What would you like to drink?’ he asked her. ‘A vodka and Coke, please.’ Anton smiled at her. ‘One moment.’ She noticed he wasn’t drinking vodka, but had some form of cocktail. Perhaps she would have one next. Gill smothered a snort. Next. What am I like? We’ve barely said hello and here’s me thinking about a second drink. As he stood at the bar, she made the most of her chance to appraise him. He was tall, very tall. She thought perhaps he had underestimated his height. Often Europeans did when converting from metric to imperial. She reckoned him to be nearer six feet five. Short hair, blond, not a trace of grey, although she supposed he was only thirty-eight. Not quite as thin as his photo had suggested. It suited him. He was slim and wore beige trousers and a white open-necked shirt – very smart. She couldn’t see any jewellery, only a watch. She liked that. Gill wasn’t big on men who wore necklaces, chains or bracelets. He turned suddenly, smiling at her. Too late to avert her gaze, she returned his smile.
