Never

Four weeks earlier...

Robin opened his eyes and stretched - he slowly reached for his watch, 9 am, he stared down at the sleeping woman who was still snuggled into him, fast asleep, he rested his head against the pillow, dreaming then, once again, his awful task came back to him. Having decided to move, both him and his wife had decided on a fresh start - so had him, he turned and looked at his lover, still fast asleep and felt a twinge of guilt. It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy with his wife - it was just that things had become a bit hum-drum and he had found himself feeling a lot older than he was, however, things were starting to change; they had recently moved house - it was going to be a fresh start.

‘What are you thinking about?’

He came out of his thoughts and reluctantly addressed the situation in hand. ‘Hey! You’re awake!’

She stretched and smiled sleepily. ‘Hello.’

‘Alison I-’

‘Yes?’

‘...Cup of tea?’

‘Oh you don’t have to.’

‘Oh I don’t mind!’

She kissed him. ‘Well...thank you.’

‘Won’t be a moment.’

Alison frowned, she wasn’t stupid! Biting her lip furiously, she watched him go downstairs before reaching for his mobile. Ha! She THOUGHT so! He’d changed it! She quickly jotted down his number and then lay back with a contented smile on her face - suddenly, a thought occurred to her and she quickly flicked through his photos and found one of his wife. Jealousy burned within her - quickly, she sent the photo to her own phone. Suddenly another thought occurred to her and she examined the phone more closely -it was a new address so she knew that, with anything new he kept a note on his phone - sure enough, there it was. She quickly entered it into her phone and grinned slyly to herself.
