Brendan has gone to the gym and he's taking his car to the garage after that. I'm on my own in the house. Just me and little kitty. I get ready and do some washing for Toni and run the vacuum 'round downstairs. I like to think I'm helping them. Not being a lazy guest. It's eleven when I get a call from Alex. “How are you today?” “So so... What about you?” I'm actually thrilled he still wants to speak to me, to be honest. “Okay, I guess. I'm at work right now, having a quick break. Look, about tonight. I've got to do something this evening, but could I see you at 8? We could watch a movie or go to a bar I know at the coast.” I'm careful not to sound too excited. I'm cool about it. “I wouldn't mind seeing a movie. What's showing?” “I know World War Z is still on, you know, end of the world as we know it stuff.”
