“Good morning how are you today,” beamed Maria as he entered. “What’s the time?” he asked. “Quarter past eight.” “Fuck me, no wonder I feel like I’ve been dug up; I’ve only had about four hours’ kip!” “That’s why I left you in bed, I was going to bring you breakfast about ten.” “Sounds great to me, I’ll go back then shall I?” jokingly she replied, “You’re a real lightweight!” Then she kissed him on the cheek and added, “Now back to bed!” “Thanks babe you’re a diamond.” Just over an hour later she was knocking on the bedroom door, calling out to him, “Mickey’s here.” “Ok babe, tell him I’ll be out in a minute.” Back in the kitchen with Mickey she said, “He won’t be a minute Mickey, would you like a drink?” “A cup of tea would be great, thanks babe. Sorry I’m early; I didn’t expect to get here for another hour, but while we’re waiting have you thought of anything else that might be useful?”
