Evelyn sat in the café; it felt so strange to her to be back in London after spending the last year in India. She got used to the various range of markets and festivals, that now nothing seemed to compare. She sighed and looked at her watch, noticing that she still had five minutes before her companions were due to join her.

"Can I get you some more tea miss?"

Evelyn turned to look at the waitress "That would be lovely, thank you."

Once the waitress walked away, Evelyn got lost in her thoughts, thinking about how the passed few months had changed her life for the better. She never dreamed that she would find love again after Hugh had passed away. But, she was ever so grateful to have Douglas in her life. She only hoped that his divorce settlement meeting went well and quickly so they could head home. Although she was born in London, it was not her home, not anymore.

She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard the chime from the café door. She gave a small smile and wave when she noticed who it was.

The woman waved back and made her way over to her. Once she was close Evelyn stood up and gave her a warm hug.

"It's good to see you Jean."

"You too."

They slowly broke apart and they took their seats.

"No Olivia yet I take it!" Jean gave her a smirk.

"She is probably dealing with Mr Bond. Wonder what he has done this time."

Jean gave a laugh. "What has that man not done? Remember that time Olivia ranted and raved because he cost the government thousands in damages and destroyed his Aston Martin again."

Evelyn put a hand to her mouth, trying to hold in her laugh.

"I actually thought she was going to combust with anger."

Jean had to bite her lip, trying hard not laugh at the memory.

The door to the café opened again and in walked the very person they were talking about. Jean and Evelyn composed themselves the best they could, but Evelyn noticed Jean was still shaking in silent laughter.

"Sorry I'm late; I had to give Bond a debriefing on his latest mission. I swear he causes these damages to bloody piss me off!"

That was it took for Jean to burst into laughter. Olivia looked back and forth between the two of them, raising an eyebrow.

"Have I missed something?"

"We were just reminiscing about old times."

Evelyn told her, giving her a quick hug, while Jean was trying to compose herself.

Olivia took the last reaming seat and let out a sigh.

"Let me guess, it was about the times I have ranted and raved about the damages and havoc that Bond causes."

"You have to admit Olivia. It was funny to watch." Jean told her having finally composed herself.

"I see some thing never change. I'm glad you enjoy laughing at my expense."

"Oh hush; it's only a bit of fun. I bet Bond didn't know what hit him the next day."

It took all of Jean's self control not to burst into laughter again.

M smirked "Let's just say he wasn't happy that he was assigned to desk duty for a month."

That set Jean off again as she and Evelyn laughed at the thought of Bond on desk duty.

The waitress came back over and asked Jean and Olivia what they would like do drink. Jean managed to stop laughing to ask for some lemon tea, while Olivia asked for a coffee.

"Are you ready to order some food, or would you like a few more minutes?"

"A few more minutes." Olivia told the young girl.

She gave a nod "I'll bring your drinks over, and then take your order."

It was a few minutes before she brought over their drinks, and took their food order. Olivia ordering the chicken Caesar salad, where as Jean and Evelyn both decided to have the soup special.

The three sat in comfortable silence, just enjoying each others company. They didn't have to wait long for their food. Once they finished their meals, Olivia turned to Evelyn.

"So tell me Evelyn. How is life in India treating you?"
