Cindy is not yet back. And may not be back until January. She is in the countryside, ‘cooling her heels’ she says. But she assures you that everything is fine. Without asking, she tells you she is not drinking, or misbehaving. “Been years since I was here, let me enjoy.”
That is good. For it gives you time to focus. And make an exit strategy if you need one. Her friend, who is your hot neighbour, said something that made you doubt Cindy’s commitment. And for the whole week, the beautiful neighbour, call her Carol, has been elusive.
