A Passionate Love Affair With a Total Stranger (2014)
“Malcolm looked round to check that no one had detected him, then wagged his tail. ‘Malcolm, if they find you upstairs, you’re in a world of trouble.’ He wagged even harder, grinning at me as if I were the most beautiful and amazing woman on earth. ‘Go downstairs before we get rumbled,’ I told him. ‘Go on, you great big fool.’ Malcolm rejected this plan, opting instead to trot over to my bed where he stuck his nose joyously into my duvet.
‘No!’ I jumped out of bed and, scanning the landing for s...igns of human life, ran him down the stairs. ‘You are a very bad boy,’ I told him, as he head-butted the door to the cupboard where his food was kept.
