KA danced at the bottom of the staircase in a fluffy pink bolero. One year ago she hardly mentioned AO. Now he was here too.

Afterwards we went for a walk. KA’s daughter R was ahead of us, alone and distracted. ‘That’ll be because her boyfriend Todd just dumped her’ explained KA.

However, by the time we reached the main road R had a spring in her step and Todd at her side. Apparently reunited, they disappeared into a café for the afternoon.
