    Alice Enamour

    Me, my bestie, her husband and his colleague...At one point my friend’s husband began to make gestures with his head and hands imitating a mental patient. The surprise made the young doctor and I look at each other, and he shrugged and raised his hands in a gesture of “What shall we do?” But my bestie’s reaction was even more surprising.“STOP! Stop right now!” she shouted, getting up and trying to hit the husband in the face.I’d never seen her so angry. Everyone in the pub looked at us in surprise, some with a slight smile, others with a disapproving look, most looking frightened. In a flash, the trainee doctor stood up and grabbed my friend by the wrists. Then her husband also stood up, gestured with his hand “take her” to his colleague and shouted “the bill, please”. I was paralysed in my chair.
