Birthday in Sheffield

It’s hot in Sheffield, but cool strolling through the shade of the woods beside the river. Eventually, night falls and it’s time to eat the copious food that Leila has prepared. And then comes cake o’clock.

People come. People go. Owen, true to form, crashes into a table covered with empties. Bedtime whooshes past. The drive home tomorrow will be gruelling, but it’s all worth it. Right?
