Day 58




Pat looked at her watch for the third time. Arrive on time? Arrive late? Which would give her the edge? She wasn’t sure why she needed ‘an edge’ and yet she felt she must somehow ensure she had the upper hand.

There was something about Sophie Challerton’s call that had un-nerved her. Pat had a nice life just a few days ago at Christmas. But Christmas was now last year and this was a new year and it was not going well. She wished that Patrick had never re-entered her life.

She checked the watch again. Arrive late – breeze in a few minutes after the meeting time. Look a bit bored with it all and confident. But why was confident the last thing she felt?
