After ending the call with Sonya, I burst into tears. The pressure in my throat becomes too much and my heart beats erratically, I cannot stop my hands from shaking.
'June.. '
I feel arms come around me and, when I open my eyes, I see all of my new friends squeezing me in a group hug.
'Hey, it will be okay.'
And I know it will be, because I am not alone.
Sonya called me a liar and a coward, and if I couldn't tell her the truth, we shouldn't be friends. To put it simply; she didn't believe me.
They pull away from me and I dry my eyes. Florence stands, and walks over to the side board.
'I was going to save these, but I think we could all do with one now.'
She pulls out a box of Saint's chocolates, we all gasp at the sight of the best chocolate money can buy.
Florence sets it on the table with a flourish, lifts the lid and declares; 'help yourself everyone!'.
We all do, I place a dark chocolate ball on my tongue and when I bite down gooey caramel fills my mouth. It's delicious.
'These really are best chocolates out there.'
'I second that.'
