"And while they were out Sally phoned Sean and asked him to go and see her. He refused, she was pressing and in the end he did as she asked, at lunchtime. They didn’t so much as touch, although he would have liked to comfort her. And she didn’t apologise, as he had expected she might. Neither told their spouses of the meeting, because each was smarting from one or more of their misunderstandings."
Now these chickens have come home to roost - now Sally's husband is demanding that Sean tell him what Sally said. Whatever it was had the effect of making Sean really bad-tempered and I have already delayed the explanation once, with a few pints, a walk along a river, a confession of something completely different, but I can delay no longer ... and I don't have anything in the way of a convincing explanation of what she could possibly have said to him that was so inflammatory!
BUT I could no more plot this than fly - for me plotting would take the heart out of what I write. Fingers crossed that the answer will come - it almost always has in the past, even though it sometimes takes a couple of weeks. In the meantime I write elsewhere on other subjects ...
