Cat darts between my legs as I walk upstairs, the door open. A phone number written on a tiny scrap of paper pushes all the air out of my body. Me and Cat, now the only ones left in the house.
I was a fool for ever trusting a man in a shiny suit with matching socks, I wish I'd stayed well away. I certainly wish I'd been out fishing when God came around and gave out curiosity. That way I wouldn't be here, making such a discovery. I didn't know I would find you when I shoveled the dirt away, it would have been better if the spade had cut you in two like a root. Where are the rest of you hiding? This is where you hide when people come in is it? like potatoes ? This is no magic restaurant, the meals aren't made by pixies. It's you lot isn't it? I bet he isn't buying me a dolphin right now. This has been the worst day ever. I overhear this rant as I begin to tuck into my asparagus soup, whoever the woman is talking to doesn't reply. It crosses my mind that she may be practicing lines for a play. But if not, I hope they sort out their problems as this is the best asparagus soup I've ever tasted.
I watch until my Peugeot 307 becomes a dot on the horizon rubbing the side of my head where Louise first indicated her surprise at my news. As I walked I remember the unexpected swiftness of her fists, if she is at home when I get there I'm going to be very quiet.
