Maybe Ron was a better option for her? He never thought they’d be a suitable match, but he spent so little time around the pair that maybe they had a connection. Who was he to tell her who she could or couldn’t fancy? Her thirty-six-year-old "friend’? His body felt stiff as he stood up, one more reminder of his age, as he walked back into the house to pour more Firewhisky into his mug.
