He just texted me. Says he's at river. Really scared he's going to do something dumb. Like jump. Help!

Can't believe it. I'm sitting at my desk while outside an idiot (not Liam!) is about to jump off a window ledge. Any idea which bit of the river? Did you have a romantic spot somewhere??

We once walked over Waterloo Bridge and I made him stop because I liked the view of St. Paul's. It was freezing and he got really pissed off. Hardly romantic, but the only thing I can think of. Just asked him, but he won't reply.

Waterloo is packed at this time of day. If he's on the parapet, someone will have seen him and called the cops. Can you get down there? Where are you?

Going now. Please don't worry about him. No one else on the planet gets himself out of the shit quite like Liam.
