And...

I guess I took so much for granted.

I didn't think – I think probably then you could book a flight on a mobile phone, and I was sitting with my laptop and I was telling him the flight details and what seat number I had and so forth.

And he fiddled with his phone for a period of time, and I can't even remember how long.

I wasn't examining him suspiciously.

I just assumed he was doing what he said he did.

And that was that.

And then on the morning of the day we were to fly, he stayed over the night before at my place and we kissed each other goodbye in the morning.

And he said, I'll go home and get my suit and take the dog to the vet, which presumably was going to, you know, a vet hotel kind of a thing.

And I'll see you at your place tonight and we'll fly tomorrow morning.

What happened?

In the afternoon, I got a message.

He rang me and said that he was changing his mind about buying Happy Valley and was buying a completely different property.

He was at the lawyers.

He was taking the dog for a walk.

And I said, you were going to take the dog to a vet hotel.

Sorry, you wouldn't do that at lunchtime.

Oh, I got confused.

And of course, it was a red flag.

But by that stage, I was a bit of a mess.
