Kinny thumped down onto the sofa, throwing her head back and letting out a breathy sigh. ‘That's it over with then!’

Frank peered over his phone curiously. ‘What's that?’

‘Az and me, she thinks I'm flirting with the new guy!’ Kinny sat up and shifted forwards. ‘You're not even listening! Is your phone more important than my life!’

‘Sorry, I was just checking the weather.’

‘Seriously!’

‘Well, I thought we could go for a walk, maybe grab a drink?’ Frank gave his daughter a cheeky wink. ‘We can chat on the way.’

‘I dunno.’

‘C’mon weather looks good.’

‘Fine.’

Frank flung his arm around Kinny as they walked. ‘You know, maybe Az is feeling slightly insecure. When you have a barney with your girlfriend it's not the end, not if you're willing to listen to each other.’

Kinny sighed, ‘I dunno.’

‘You get yourself some fresh air and when she's ready, I'm sure she’d want to listen to you too. Actually it's a bit nippy and I forgot my jacket. You go on ahead, I'll be back in a sec.’

Frank turned the corner, catching a glimpse of Kinny stopping beside a green-haired girl sitting on the wall and smiled.
