And now I just read the first couple of pages.
I was in no state to meet anyone when Corinne arrived.
I sat on a chair in my sublet on Aldersgate Street, Central London, an epic Hail Mary.
Outside, it was tipping down.
It was mid to late May, colder than it should have been for the time of year.
Distended sash window to my right overlooking an alley, or to be exact, the external wall of the neighboring building.
Water was running down black brick, splashing out of the gutter pipe.
This was the moment Corinne chose to put in an appearance.
I judged him on that.
He walked in through the front door like he owned the place.
He was taller than me and lankier, and that's saying something, given that I myself had a hard time maintaining my posture on my chair.
