The Story of Us (2014)
“Thin early morning light was beginning to pierce through the gap in my curtains, and I had to peer several times at the phone’s display to read it was only six-thirty in the morning. I blinked to clear my vision and read the caller’s ID. Caroline. Automatically my heart skipped a beat. No one called at this time of day unless it was serious.
‘Caroline?’ I answered, feeling my stomach already clenching in preparation for more bad news.
She cut straight to the point. ‘You broke up? You broke up w...ith Richard and you didn’t think to tell me?’ ‘Caroline, it’s six-thirty.’ She steamed on ahead as though I hadn’t spoken.
‘What the hell were you thinking of?’ ‘Richard told you,’ I said with a sigh.
‘No, he bloody didn’t! What the hell is wrong with the pair of you? I got a text late last night from some stupid girl – who I don’t even know that well – from the rugby club. Apparently Richard was in the bar there last night, drinking like there was no tomorrow, and spreading the news about the two of you to anyone who’d listen.MoreLess
