She stood at the street front door. The street\nwas empty; nearly everyone would bewas out lining the route to the\n\u2019field' at Finaghy. The sky was overcast, threatening rain. 'Cemented with love'\n'No Surrender' said the bannerstreamer hanging near their houselimply across the street. The sound of\nthe xxxxxxxxxxxx bands reached her.\n\nShe could not spend the day in this deserted street. She could\ngo to Mr Blake's but for once did not feel like it. She would be\nrestless in his tidy villa in the suburban road. She would go\nto Bangor. It might not be an ideal day for the seaside but she\nknew now that that was where she was going to go.\n\nThe rain started when she got off the bus. She pulled up the\nhood of her anorak and walked along by the sea wall enjoying the\nsmell of the sea and the fresh whip of the wind in her face.\n\nAt the end of the wall she met Kevin. He was leaning against it\nlooking out at the sea.\n\n\u2019Hello,\" she said.\n\nHe turned. \"Hello.\" He smiled.\n\nShe leaned against the wall beside him. \"Did you know I'd come here today?\"\n\n\"I had a feeling you might. Come on, let's go out and have some\ncoffee and get out of the rain.\"\n\nHe took her arm and led her across the street. The cafe was\nfull of wet holiday makers staring miserably at the rain streaming\ndown the windows. Sadie and To Kevin sat huddled together in a\nconrer smiling at one another. For a few minutes they said very\nlittle, They neededing time to adjust to seeing one another again.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
