Not only was the SEB back in town, but had negotiated an introduction to EH and found a spare seat at our table. I had no way of communicating to EH who this seemingly charming individual really was. Instead I was forced to listen to the SEB make unkind remarks about my real friends. They were now giving me a wide berth, aghast that it appeared that I had welcomed this appalling person back into our midst. It was essential that I remove EH from this toxic environment and explain to her just who this supposed “good friend” really was.
