"You're back early!" Looked up Joanne surprised.
"Yeah I know, well I don't take an hour to eat lunch, and I haven't really done as much work as I should have, so I thought I'd get back early and get stuck in."
"Okay then." I dumped my bag on my desk and then called, "I suppose Louis, Ronan and the guys have all gone?"
"Yeah sorry Shelly you missed them by about 5 minutes." Said Joanne sympathetically. Great I thought to myself. So much for a 'thank you drink' from Mark. I'd probably never see them again-tomorrow was my last day here after all, I thought sadly. I sank into my chair with a heavy sigh, and began sorting out leaflets.
"You alright Shelly-you look as if the world's come to an end." said Joanne concerned.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," I mumbled pathetically. As if, I thought to myself-if only I had walked a little bit faster, I would have got to say good bye.
"I've got something that might cheer you up,"
"Oh yeah," I mumbled. Joanne got up and called,
"Do you want a coffee or anything?" and dropped a letter onto my desk.
"No thanks-what's this?"
"Read it and you'll find out!" She smiled and then walked off in the direction of the kitchen. It was a plain white envelope with simply the word 'Shelly' on the front, in a handwriting I had never seen before. I carefully opened it to reveal a small bit of paper saying,

'Shelly,
This has gotta be real quick-we're off out somewhere the new superstars that we are-thanx to you. We really appreciate all your help and as I promised earlier, we're taking you out tonight whether you like it or not! Don't kill Joanne, but I persuaded her to give me your address and number, I'm picking you up at 7pm for the time of your life!
Lots of love
Mark xox'

My heart stopped beating the entire time I read it, and re-read it, and re-read it again. I can't believe he really wrote that. I felt someone above me and looked up to see Joanne grinning down at me.
"You gave him my address?" I shouted pretending to be annoyed.
"And your phone number, and your mobile number!" She said excited.
"Oh my god, I just really can't believe this! Thank you sooooo much!" I leapt up and hugged her nearly spilling her drink everywhere.
"Oh so you're not annoyed with me then?"
"As if-have you looked at him??! How gorgeous is he?!!!"
"Very, I was tempted to give him my address instead of yours!" she giggled.
"You didn't did you?" I asked seriously.
"Of course I didn't Shelly! I couldn't cope with the guilt of standing in the way of true love! Now forget that and start worrying about what to wear!"
"Oh my god Joanne you're sooo right! I mean what *am* I going to wear??!" I started talking flustered and mentally going through my wardrobe. "I mean do I go smart/casual, smart and casual, what?! I mean I don't even know where we're going!"
"Afraid I can't help you there-just wear something simple but not too dressy, I dunno just a skirt and top." She said trying to talk and eat at the same time.
"You're a lot of help aren't you!" I stood there thinking.
"If you get those press packs done quickly I'll let you go home early to get ready."
"Really? Oh Joanne you're such a star!" I called rushing over to my desk and working ten to the dozen.
