The Three Rs (2014)
“That’s all the school is entitled to. They pleaded with me to stay longer, until the half-term break perhaps which was only three weeks away. I could have told Cain I couldn’t up sticks and move to Berwick until the school holidays, insisted I was contractually committed or something, but I don’t feel comfortable lying to him. He was quite explicit regarding his actions if he were ever to find out I’d been untruthful regarding my prior knowledge of his uncle’s intentions, so I don’t expect he’ll be any more tolerant over this. I explained to Dave, apologetically but firmly, that I could only work until the end of the following the week. So now, just ten days after first meeting Cain Parrish, I’m at my flat, watching out of my living room window as I wait for his van to pull up outside.
I phoned him later that day, after I’d spoken to the school, and told him I could start work a week on Monday. I said I’d come to Berwick the day before, on the Sunday. I intended getting there by train..., but he insisted on coming to pick me up, and said he’d drive down to Bradford on the Saturday to help me pack up any stuff I insisted on bringing with me.MoreLess
