Free Blogger: TINYS BLACK ADVENTURES - TINYSBLACKADVENTURES be wrong to say that I didn't miss Caroline, but male bonding is something unexplainable. I was quickly and heartily invited back into the throngs of drinking, partying and other lurid activities that young males thrive on. The carefree late nights, rampant binge drinking, the resulting hangovers were most times regretful.
It was a week or two after Caroline's departure that I realised that I'd left a few CD's at her house, and I knew that if I didn't get them soon, they'd be gone forever. I rang Maxine and asked if I could call around sometime and collect them, she happily agreed so long as I called her first.
It was a Wednesday night that I asked and got permission to call around. I'd expected to have the CD's handed to me at the door, but a friendly Maxine beckoned me inside and thrust a cold beer into my hand. We were soon comfortably sitting in the lounge just like old times, if you ignore the fact that Caroline was missing. I asked after Caroline and was told that she was happy enough but a little homesick, especially now she had to do her own washing and ironing. We both laughed and continued chatting.
