A Walk in the Dark
“So I went straight back to my apartment, with the idea of training for half an hour. Since I’d half moved to Margherita’s, I’d created a gym corner in my own apartment, with dumbbells and a punch bag.
Sometimes I managed to go to a real gym, to skip rope, hit the punch bag, fight a few rounds. And get a few punches in the face from younger men who were a lot faster than me these days. At other times, if it was too late, if I didn’t have the time or the inclination to get my bag ready and go to ...the gym, I’d train alone at home.
I was just about to get in my tracksuit when it struck me that it was too late this evening even to train at home. Besides, I was almost satisfied with my work – which didn’t happen often – and so I didn’t have a sense of guilt, which was what usually got me pounding that punch bag.
So I decided to make dinner. Since being with Margherita, and spending so much time in her apartment, I’d made sure my fridge and my larder were always well stocked.MoreLess
