Now how was he to remember the Russian woman's name? Siobhan...Siobhan...Siobhan. He might just have to call her by her surname. No. He couldn't. "Where are you from Aaron?" he asked casually, wondering how Siobhan would respond to the continued talk.

Aaron smiled he had never tried to explain cricket to anyone before, when his cousin was trying to explain it to him, he got totally confused until he was shown a game on TV but he thought he should give it a go anyway. "well sir their are two teams of 11, i guess it's like american baseball, a batting and fielding team, the team batting first has to make as much runs as possible, then after their 50 overs are up or they are bowled out [1 over = 6 balls] the teams swap and the Fielding side has to bat, if they get as many runs as the 1st side they win but if they don't, they lose. There is also a longer version of the game called test matches." Aaron took a deep breath and hoped Nicoli had taken all that in.

Aaron scratched at his chin before telling Nicoli that he lives in London.
