Chapter 7
“I knew it couldn’t last!”Luke gripped the letter he’d just opened.His hand shook with anger and more than a little disappointment.Whirling round on his heel,he yelled,“Roger!Get your lazy arse out of bed;I want a word.”Luke stormed into the bedroom and threw the bedclothes to the floor.
“Uh?What’s the matter?”
“This is the fucking matter!”Luke thrust the letter at Roger,who eyed it with suspicion,before reaching for it.
The room fell silent while Roger read.
“But…they must have made a mistake.”
“What?”Could Luke be making a fool of himself?Had he wrongly accused Roger?
“I paid them.I know I did.”
“Oh.”Luke began to calm down,even felt mildly foolish.“Have you got,uh…you know,receipts?I’ll take them round there and make them apologise.”
Roger looked shifty.“Well,I suppose I’ve got them,though I don’t know where I put them.”
