Slumping against the open fridge door, I wanted to throw myself in. I settled for looking for something to eat, anything that’d make me feel better. Water? Tried that, still felt like shit. Strawberry juice? God, no.

I was devouring chocolate ice cream from the freezer when I felt a pair of eyes zooming in on me. Levi. At least he had his swimmers on. With my mouth full of ice cream, I stuck my head in the freezer and pretended he wasn’t there. Then I made kicking motions in his direction. There was something enormously humiliating about being caught by a three-year-old gobbling ice cream from the freezer.

‘Go away,’ I moaned.

I crawled upstairs and slammed my bedroom door shut. I shouldn’t have. The impact of the noise sent a searing pain through my brain. I struggled into bed and climbed under the sheets. Safe from the world at last.

But it was no use, I couldn’t get back to sleep. My mind was racing. Regarding the list I’d made myself twenty-four hours earlier, I’d failed on every account; okay, so I didn’t have a one-night stand or race around the apartment naked, clanging saucepans together, but my behaviour was still shabby and immature.

I climbed out of bed, thinking a cup of tea might help me focus, and limped slowly, hesitantly, down the stairs, only to be confronted by a bemused Sophie, Levi, Tara and Jack.
