At the end of the meal, I found an appropriate moment to stand up to deliver my hilarious news to the entire table.

Awful AD had acquired a girlfriend! What is more, when he introduced me to Wendy, I realised that I already knew her. She had always come across as to me a lovely, normal person, yet it really did seem that she had fallen for AD.

But how long would it take for her to discover that AD was a narcissistic psychopath, we all wondered?

Not as long as it took for me to see that AD was still in the room and had just heard every word of my announcement.
