She was only forty five. So young. Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals, Davie and Liane, to come round and drink some wine, listen to some tunes and reminisce about the olden days. And theres something else He wants them to meet the new love of his life. Her name is Greta. They met online. And shes twenty years old.
