Sunday marked a year to the day since Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on loan.
Twelve months on, the Reds are still waiting to get him back on a permanent basis. It is not quite at the long-running saga stage just yet, but it is fast getting to that point.
And it would be understandable if Forest soon begin to get a little wary over the potential for it to drag on too long. They cannot afford to wait all summer.
