Love, Rosie (19 page)

8pm.
We
could
collect
you
from
airport
and
go
straight
to
ball?
Or
maybe

love,
rosie

33

you’d
prefer
to
go
to
my
house
first?
You
can’t
wear
your
tux
on
the
plane

because
you’ll
get
all
crumpled.
What
do
you
think?

Flight

Sounds
good
to
me.
Doesn’t
matter
if
we’re
late
just
as
long
as
I
get

there.
I’ll
go
see
if
they
can
get
me
on
that
flight.

Flight

Rosie,
bad
news.
That
flight
is
fully
booked.

Flight

Shit.
Think,
think,
think.
What
can
I
do?
It
seems
that
we
can
get
you

here
every
other
bloody
day
except
tomorrow.
Somebody
up
there
really

doesn’t
want
you
to
get
on
that
plane.
Maybe
it’s
a
sign?

My
fault

It’s
my
fault,
I
should
have
double
checked
with
the
airline
yesterday.

Please
go
to
the
debs
anyway.
I
no
I’ve
messed
up
your
night.
You
still
have

the
whole
day
to
find
someone
else
to
go
with
you.
Take
loads
of
photos,
tell

everyone
I
was
asking
for
them
and
enjoy
yourself.
Sorry,
Rosie.

Re:
My
fault

Cecelia
Ahern

It’s
not
your
fault.
I’m
disappointed
but
let’s
be
realistic,
it’s
not
the
end

of
the
world.
Make
sure
you
get
your
money
back
for
that
flight,
the
eejits.

And
anyway
I’m
gonna
see
you
in
a
little
over
a
month
and
we’ll
be
seeing

each
other
EVERY
DAY!
We’ll
have
a
brilliant
time.
I
better
go
searching
for

a
man
now
.

What
a
stupid
question!!
Of
course
I
found
a
man.
I’m
insulted
you
even

needed
to
ask
.

business
