Chapter 43: BACKTRACKING

Len shifted on the chair but stood his ground, with a look of determination on his face. "You were the one that said don't give up and what else... the door isn't closed? Yet because I've given Corrie some space to absorb what happened between the three of us you're slinging insults my way? I'd be more concerned if she wasn't giving what we did some thought. I can hardly expect her to believe one thing for eleven years then accept this straightaway. Besides, I don't believe you, Rick. If you feel the same way as I do, you don't just walk away from something this good."

"Rick. I need a cab. I need to be at work by 12.15 pm." A gorgeous blonde: Lila, or Lisa, or something, who I'd brought home with me, came charging down the stairs zipping up her short skirt and turning it around the right way. "Wow, you're Lennon from XrAid, right?" she added pulling one sling-back shoe on and then the other. I glanced at Len and almost chuckled at his pissed expression.
