Glimmer

Tom told me about a dream he had last night. I looked at it and interpreted it as being about the time we were together and some regrets he has about it. Yet again, nearly three years on, it gave me a tiny glimmer of hope that he would realise his part in things going…

Loyalty

When Tom came around to pick up Annie, his phone rang. His happy tone of voice as he spoke piqued my interest. I worked out it was either Abi or her husband, Andy, on the phone. When the call finished, he was like an excited little schoolboy. Abi and Andy had invited him and Annie…
