Hi

Hi
Alex.

What
are
you
doing?

Surfing
the
Internet,
searching

a
crank

1939

Dodge
Sedan.
It’s
a
rare
car.
A
real
beauty.
Just
ordered
front

bumper
bar
extensions
for
the
1955
Chevrolet
Sedan.
It’s

Something
on

Just

you
are.
Wanted
to
catch
up
with
my
big

brother.

Right.
How’s
the
job?

I’m
going
on
a
date
tonight.

Really?
That’s
good.

Yeah
it
is.

Good
to

you
moving
on.

Yeah.

Finding
happiness
again.

Yeah.

Meeting
someone
new
will
stop
you
from
working
so
bloody
much.

Yeah.

Does
Rosie
know?

Yeah.
Just
was
chatting
to
her
there
by
instant
message
before
I
mes-

saged
you.

How’s
that
for
a
coincidence?
Well,
what
was
her
reaction?

Not
much
of
one
actually.

She
wasn’t
angry?

No.

Or
jealous?

No.

She
didn’t
beg
you
not
to
date
other
women?

Nope.

That’s
good
then
isn’t
it?
You’ve
got
a
good
friend
there.
One
that

wants
you
to
move
on,
meet
new
people,
and
find
happiness.

Yeah.
That’s
good.
Good
to
have
a
friend
like
that.

You’re
still
heavily
under
the
influence
of
Neptune,
the
planet
that
brings
you

your
romantic
dreams
