The Way It Never Was
“Sitting in the lounge, I eat my toasted sandwich, staring absent-mindedly at yet another rogue hair extension of Claire’s lying there on the sofa. I keep coming across them around the flat in unexpected places, which is not terribly pleasant. It’s sort of like finding some sort of hairy pet in a food cupboard you weren’t expecting to find.
Earlier, on my way back from the Globe where I enjoyed an obligatory caffeine fix, I saw Scary Linda stomping up the hill.
‘Hey Linda!’ I studied her... face closely, as there was something about her that was a little off. ‘You okay?’ Although dressed for business, she was looking more than a little lacklustre with bloodshot eyes and mascara running down to her chin.
‘Yes, well no, not really,’ she burst into tears, tucking her hair behind her ears. ‘Dave says that he wishes,’ she paused dramatically. ‘He wishes he didn’t live so far away. He hates the journey.’ Wow, this is a sharp departure from the other night when she was waxing lyrical on her perfect relationship.MoreLess
