Break-ups, love and engagement rings

The help

Me and Alfie where sitting on his couch in the living room in his flat.

I asked if he was ok, if I could do anything for him and he just replied with a slight shake of the head. I sat sort of awkwardly. A couple of minutes later Alfie spoke "Louise, you can go. I understand you need go get back to Zoe"

"No Alfie, don't be silly I can wait till later and return either late tonight or very early in the morning" I said reassuringly. It was only 7:30 and Zoe doesn't like to go to bed soon so she's probably away to bed by now or going soon. I wasn't worried ... Much.

A good 7 minutes passed before we spoke again "Louise I'm really sorry, I've been so stupid and I've dragged you into this" the tears were building in his eyes "I just really can't imagine my life without Zoe, she's my everything - how do I tell the viewers, how do I tell all our friend- how do we stay friends" the tears were streaming down his face now so I reached over for the tissues on the coffee table in front of us. He nodded in thanks "I mean she never even had a real reason- she just said 'I'm sorry Alf I can't do it anymore' what does that even mean, like, what can't she do anymore, does she like someone else - have I done something!? As far as I know it's none of those reasons but obviously I don't know everything" I nodded every so often taking in everything Alfie was saying to me. I told him none of those things were true but I have no idea why she did it either- I'll ask her tomorrow and I'll let you know! He nodded in consent. I felt little bad but it's ok.

Isn't it?
