The Sweetest Thing
“I leave it open at the relevant page on the kitchen table in the hope that David might see it.
‘It’s about getting your name out there,’ Mum keeps saying over the phone, but I beg to differ. It’s about getting some orders. For the first time in my life, I’m fearful of opening my credit-card statement. In fact, I half hoped that Lucky might turn out to attack the post as well as the postman so I could blame my ignorance of my level of personal debt on him.
We’ve been here two and a half weeks, i...t’s Friday evening and David’s on his way to collect the children, to take them back for their first weekend away in London with him and Alice. I’ve had a burst of baking to take my mind off it all, sending them away with a box of chocolate crunch. I can’t bear the thought of being alone here for the first time. I adore my house and love whistling for Lucky and taking him for a stroll around what we jokingly call ‘the estate’ at dusk, but I can foresee a long two days stretching out in front of me.MoreLess
