As Cooper woke the next morning he became acutely aware of a lack of body heat beside him. He blinked his eyes open as he reached out to find an empty space where he knew another body should still be lying. He sat up and looked round the room.
“Dove!”
He scrambled up out of bed and looked into the bathroom before making his way out to the lounge.
“Dove!” He growled her name fiercely this time.
He noticed that her bag and jacket were gone, he walked slowly back into the bedroom and saw that her clothes were gone too.
“That bloody b***h ran out on me?” He raked a hand through his hair disbelieving and sat down on the bed, feeling more than a little stunned. He chuckled to himself and shook his head. “Well, I’ll be…this is a first…”
Cooper looked at his watch for the time.
