Free Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern Page B

would play games with her all the time, pull silly faces, put on unattractive voices and wear brightly colored clothes that should only be worn on Saturday morning TV.
    Anyway I seem to have found him. He is a very generous, caring, and thoughtful man, and I think I am very lucky to have met him. It may not last forever but I’m enjoying myself Alex. I know I’ve been such a misery guts for the past, oh I don’t know . . . 10 years or so (!) but now I have realized that Katie and I are a team and if they can’t love us both, then they can get lost.
    But I think I may have met a man who does. Fingers crossed.
    PS: I notice you have stopped referring to Ireland as home . . . your heart must finally be in Boston now.

    love, rosie

    Oooh Rosie’s in love!
    Oooooh! Rosie sounds like she’s in love!!!
    With a bank manager who goes clubbing in a place called the Dancing Cow?? What kind of bank manager (or any man for that matter) goes to the Dancing Cow? Fair enough, you and your friend Ruby seem to have gone off the rails altogether, so therefore I wouldn’t expect anything more from you. But I don’t no, I’m not yet convinced this man is the right one for you.
    And I have to say I was slightly insulted by your last letter. What do you mean by the statement “I have finally met a man who doesn’t mind that I have a daughter”? I think that I have always been supportive of you and Katie, in fact I no I have. Whenever I can, I visit you and bring you out to all your favorite restaurants and bring my goddaughter presents.
    Anyway I better go, just worked a double shift at the hospital so I’m feeling kind of ratty and tired.

    Thanks Mr. Supportive
    Well thank you, Mr. Supportive, for being so happy for me. In case you haven’t noticed, you and I are not involved in a romantic relationship. Yes, you are a wonderful friend (supportive and generous), but you are not here every day with me. I’m sure you will understand when I say that finding a friend and finding a partner are two very different things. You accept me warts and all, some men don’t. But you’re not here.
    OK well that’s all. Hope married life is going wonderfully!
    You have an instant message from: RUBY
    Ruby:
    Katie told Sally what??

    Rosie:
    I know, it’s crazy isn’t it? And Katie wrote that letter after I had only been on one date with Greg!
    Ruby:
    Wow, she must really like him to be telling people about him so soon. Ah well maybe Sally won’t feel like you’re trying to get your grubby little mitts on her husband now.
    Rosie:
    Ah who cares anyway, I have my Greg!
    Ruby:
    Ugh you make me sick, you’ve turned into one of those sickening couples that we hate. You two are carrying on like love-struck teenagers; I think I’ll have to find a new single friend so that I don’t feel like a complete gooseberry the next time we go out.
    Rosie:
    Oh you’re such a liar! You were having a great time with all those guys every time I looked at you. You were the center of attention!
    Ruby:
    Oh a girl does what she has to . . . Anyway you must only have spotted me on the rare occasion you detached your head from Greg’s face. Oh by the way that guy called me last night so I’m thinking of—
    You have an instant message from: GREG
    Greg:
    Hello gorgeous how’s your day going?
    Rosie:
    Oh hello! Oh it’s the same as usual . . . better now though!
    Ruby:
    Hello? Are you still there or has Randy Andy attacked you?
    Rosie:
    Sorry Greg just a second, I’m chatting to Ruby on-line too!
    Greg:
    Do you two ever do any work?!
    Rosie:
    Enough to keep ourselves from getting fired.
    Greg:
    I’ll try you again later.
    Ruby:
    No no! Don’t be silly! I’m perfectly capable of carrying on two conversations at the same time. Besides I want to chat to you and if I tell that to Ruby she’ll be even more angry at me for becoming one of them . . .
    Greg:
