Climbing into the shower and turning it on, he asked her, ‘Fancy going shopping in Guildford after we’ve met with Jane? I need to get some stuff, ...new shirt for work, maybe a new tie. You can help me choose them.’ ‘Alright, but aren’t you going into work today?’ ‘Nah, that’s the beauty of being the boss, days off when you want,’ Lifting his face up to the spray of water, he stood, looking like a Greek statue to Froo, one that she had once seen in the British Museum years ago. A living, breathing. . but, well, I mean Tony knows, and Marcus. It was going to come out eventually, the amount of time we spend around each other." Was it... an accident?" No... cancer." How did Marcus take you telling him?" He was amazing." Elspeth cut in. "She had a hospital appointment, he gave her a lift and stayed with her through everything, perfect gentleman throughtout." He's just too fucking perfect, isn't he." Shawna felt guilt driving tears out. "Even after his mum he can still do that..." His mum?". He looked about, then steered me to a space marked A26. He slipped off my leash and instead connected my collar to a short piece of steel chain that dangled from the wall. A man in a livery approached him leafing through a list he carried on a clipboard.?A26? You must be Mr Clarkson??He confirmed this with a curt nod.?Good. And today you are selling???This is Susie?, he explained while the men put down the details on a small backboard. He seemed to know the drill, because he never hesitated. Tonight will not be a night you remember fondly, and it wont be a night you will forget any time soon." I said quietly. Then I stood, took the book and plate of food and set them on the chair nearby. Bitch had lost her food privileges for at least two days. I walked back to the bed and unlocked the chain from the headboard, leaving it attached to bitches collar. She whimpered a little. Then I suddenly stepped back and pulled the chain hard, jerking bitch off of the bed. She hit the cold.
