lime and handed the bottle to her husband.
    He neither looked at her nor acknowledged the gesture of servitude, and turned to resume the conversation with his associates, analysing the potential development of a smaller circuit board for their central heating controller.
    Abella shuffled invisibly across the room and out into the cold night. No one noticed apart from Ed. He gave her a minute and then subtly followed her out, leaving his drink on the cigarette machine by the door.
    He found her huddled and crying in a doorway on the far side of the car park.
    “It was so good at first. I don’t know what’s happened to him. He’s a different person, so boring, so cold and so unaffectionate. I don’t know how I can survive.” The words struggled out through the lonely tears which intercepted their announcement as they fell to the floor like her mood.
    “Don’t worry, you’ll find a way,” said Ed, comforting her with his words before continuing. “Look, it’s freezing out here. Come back inside.”
    “I can’t. I just want to die. I know it sounds extreme but it can’t be worse than this,” replied Abella as she tossed her glorious curly brunette locks with a quick flick of her head to the left. She looked up and straight at Ed with her huge and gorgeous big brown eyes. They shimmered with flashes of light glinting with an enchanting teary reflection from the car park security lights.
    Ed tentatively put his arm around her and handed her a clean white hanky, careful not to be overly intimate or misunderstood. He glanced down at her astounding hourglass body, short pleated patterned skirt, black seamed stockings and tasteful stilettos.
    “Look, it’s freezing. You don’t have a coat - you’ll freeze,” pleaded Ed as she put her head down onto his shoulder, soaking his shirt with tears whilst her immaculate hair cascaded down over his shirt pocket. The hanky was held motionless in her hand. The car park was deserted and silent apart from the sound of her sobs. She lifted her head up and glanced at Ed once more, a lot closer than the last time.
    “Do you have a car? We could sit in your car?”
    “Er, yes but, well, that might be deemed inappropriate?” replied Ed slightly nervously.
    “Well I’m not going back in there so the only other alternative is to freeze, I guess,” uttered Abella, the tears calming slightly. She lifted the hanky up and began patting her eyes dry.
    “Okay then, it’s in the car park at the back. I got here late and missed all the good spaces,” uttered Ed as he started to usher her towards the back of the building.
    “It’s over. I decided already before tonight. I just need to decide when. I can’t take this shit anymore,” declared the beautiful woman as they approached Ed’s Toyota people carrier. He opened the back door and she got in, delicately manoeuvring her perfect stilettoed feet with dignity.
    “I’ll sit in the front,” stated Ed as he began to pull the door shut.
    “No,” whispered Abella as she stopped him closing the door. “Sit in the back, I won’t be able to hear you from the front.”
    Her tears had demised. She moved her hand forward as if to hand Ed the hanky. He reached out to take it from her and she clasped his hand.
    “Please come and sit with me?”
    Ed felt a blood surge across his whole body. It was like having a rush from an adrenalin injection. He started to shake slightly as he lifted himself up into the back of the car, pulling the door closed behind and sitting next to her. The hanky fell to the floor as she lifted his hand to her mouth and gave it a gentle kiss on the knuckles.
    “Thanks for coming out after me,” she whispered seductively into his ear as she moved her head closer to his, still clinging to his hand.
    “That’s fine, it’s the least I…” Ed turned his head as he spoke and had not finished the sentence before their lips had met. He felt the texture of the slightly sticky red lip gloss as his tongue parted her
