His cold mug of tea. He’d been to Jude’s.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thesauerkrautpoe/391800/ They were in the bathroom. Nothing dodgy. Alex’s nose was bleeding.

He was sitting on the toilet se.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thesauerkrautpoe/391798/    It had been at least 7 minutes since Alex had left but Lara still couldn’t tear her eyes away from the door.

She was a mess. She stared a few moments longer but then.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thesauerkrautpoe/391797/ Jude didn’t like crying people. He just didn’t know how to handle them. They sat there with tears streaming down their face pouring their heart out and he stood up next to them awkwardly patting their shoulder, feeling terribly uneasy. As soon as he opened the front door to see .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thesauerkrautpoe/391796/  Lara just stood there in silence, her eyes on the floor.

She said .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/thesauerkrautpoe/391792/   Two o’clock rolled around which left Jude in a terrible rush because he was meeting Lara at half past and it took twenty minutes to get there.
