She turned towards me…there were tears in her eyes.
“Gosh, Tony,” she said quietly. “You really should write that line down – they could use it in a f*****g movie!”
She didn’t actually slam the door as she left, but she might as well have. I flopped down into the armchair. There was a photo of Claire and me on the wall opposite. We were at the zoo and Claire had been in fits of laughter at the antics of the meerkats. While she’d still been laughing I’d asked a guy to take a few pictures of us both. I’d been pulling faces in some of them, but in this one I was gazing at her like a man in love. Her eyes were full of happiness and she was about to kiss me…I love that picture of us.
