snapped.
         The crackly line vibrated in my ears.
         ‘ This is ridiculous.  If you have something to say then just bloody say it!  I have better things to do than rushing back and forth to the phone every five minutes! ’
         Rustling of material could be heard.
         ‘ I give up.  This is pointless.  Good da… ’
         I was interrupted by a rumbling growl.
         ‘ What was that?  What did you say? ’
         A cough and then silence.
         ‘ What…
         ‘ I’m sorry, ’ the distinctive male voice croaked before he put the phone down.
         I numbly stood there holding the phone, unable to move.  Sorry?  Sorry for what?  Sorry for something to do with Zoe or sorry for something to do with…to do with me?
         The distant humming of the dead line brought me back and slowly I returned the phone to its holder.

         Eleven o’clock in the morning and I was bored out of my mind.  I know Zoe said I could help myself, but the question was, to what exactly?  She wasn’t awash with entertainment. 
         There was nothing on TV, she had no decent book to read, I had no work to complete and as far as music went!  Half of her collection boarded on insane while the other half would have driven me insane.  There were only a couple of CDs that suited my taste, but unfortunately I wasn’t quite up for listening to depressing music.  I was missing Will far too much as it was.
         The way he caressed my cheek, encouraging me to wake to a brand new day.  The smile his lips would form just before he kissed me.  The look in his eyes holding so much promise for our future.  The look in his eyes the night before.
         They were so different.  I thought I knew them until then.  His chocolate brown irises turned almost coal black.  A passion of great magnitude to which the likes I’ve never witnessed, not in those circumstances.  Not once ha d he lost his temper with me, not like that.  It was a dark side to William I did not like and led me to wonder what had set it off.  The thought alone sent a shiver down my spine.
         Children’s laughter from outside snapped my attention away from the disturbing thoughts.
         Stretching out the kinks from my tired body, I strolled over to the window, still covered in rain droplets after the torrential pour down of the night before.  The weather was now a complete contrast to earlier, with the sun shining and warming up the world it looked down upon. 
         With a bit of tugging here and there I managed to push the window open and a rush of warm air immediately enfolded me.  I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled my troubles away. 
         Looking down onto the street below, I saw an elderly couple walking past, hand in hand, with a little dog at their side.  Approaching in the opposite direction was a youngish woman trying to control two unruly kids, without a great deal of success by the look of things.
         My gaze shifted across the road to a café opposite Zoe’s flat.  On a table outside sat five attractive women, clearly having a very animated chat and enjoying the sun while it lasted.  They were totally oblivious to the three guys on the other table eying them up.    Just as I was about to look away, one of the guys got to his feet, tugged at his shirt collar, looked back to his mates for encouragement, before he sidled over to the women.  There were smiles, laughter and shakes of the head.  Soon the man turned and walked back to his mates with his hands in his pockets and shoulders slumped.  Rejected!   That just goes to show you charm and looks aren’t everything.  I’d have wagered that that man’s ego was a tad deflated after that little encounter.
         A commotion further up the street caught my attention.  The pub on the corner had just forcibly ejected two very drunken men.  I estimated that
