All he can think is the Coop is not going to take this well in general. His friend likes things to be simple in life, in a way that Owen’s never understood because since he turned 18 years old his life has always been a complicated rollercoaster. A selfish part of him also thinks the timing couldn’t have been worse – Coop’s been his emotional crutch the last few months and he can’t help but have flashbacks to when his friendship with Les crumbled.
“Yeah, we’re still close.” He avoids making a comment about how most people find it difficult to drop Coop out their lives, but the fire really isn’t there. She is probably too tired for a fight and he has no right to start one on Coop’s behalf. Not now anyway.
His phone starts ringing in his pocket and he knows it’ll be Jamie or Claire. The conventional telephone chiming filling the silence that dropped over them. Either way, he lets it forward to voicemail, even though that isn’t really fair on either of them but they’ll forgive him in the long run.
Taking a deep breath, he sighed before talking. “I’ll be honest with you Sylvie. I wasn’t prepared for this to happen and in all honesty I wish it hadn’t. Because I’m going to end looking like a bad guy however this goes down and without going into details, there is bigger stuff I have to deal with in life right now.” He bent down and grabbed a couple of extra wine bottles that were going to act as an apology to the Lyles. “Have you found somewhere to stay whilst you’re here?”
