An Intimate EncounterSultans of Swing could be heard in the spare bedroom and Valerie managed a smile as she tucked the blue, striped blouse further into a dark grey, pencil skirt. The song brought back memories of a simpler time, dancing in Anne’s bedroom as a teenager to Dire Straits, she was in her last year of Primary school and Anne was mooning over boys. Anne’s crush at school was a Dire Straits fan and thus Anne became a fan as well. She had moved on from him but stayed a fan, she and Tony seemed to possess that ability to extricate themselves from destructive relationships without making a dog’s breakfast of it. Melody and Valerie on the other hand could go for years in relationships that were going nowhere.
Melody had ended a long term relationship with Marcus some six months ago
