Overthinker

It was my fiftieth birthday, and I was looking over the city's lights with my best friend, a couple of inoffensive white wines in our hands.

"So do you remember what you told me about Mary? When she was going to move to the other side of the planet?"

He laughed.

"Of course I do! Mr Wait and See, Mr Cautious, about to lose the love of his life, I gave you a much needed kick in the ass. You're welcome!"

I sighed.

"Or should I be apologising for your marriage?"

"We could have made long distance work, is all."
