“As long as he doesn’t burn the apartment block down or wake me up with fire engines again, he can do what he wants really. But I really do worry about his general life skills if he can’t work a toaster,” Owen continued, completely unaware of Spencer’s general confusion at the topic of conversation.
Owen frowned at the man’s words – he was sure it wasn’t a bad reason that he recognised his face. It was just that distant feeling of knowing of someone. “No, I think this is longer ago.” Four years ago he was still in the escort game, and he remembered customer and colleague faces incredibly well. There was a pause, one second, two seconds, before suddenly something clicked in his mind. “We went to high school together,” he stated, smiling at connecting the pieces. Grinning he sat more upright in his chair at working it out. He liked to think he had been sociable at school and got to learn names and faces, even if people weren’t in his friendship group. “I think you were in the year below or something.”
