Twenty-Five

April 18th

Tina hadn’t opened her dedicated dating email inbox since the ill-fated evening with Leon. Guilt nudged her every time she remembered how she’d walked out of the restaurant without a word. If their roles had been reversed and he had walked out on her, she’d have been furious, hurt and confused. After a few days of quiet stewing, she’d probably have emailed him to ask what she’d done wrong.

She was also aware that there might be potential date requests waiting on Superior Singles for her response. Mr Right could be there, right now, in her inbox, being ignored because she was ashamed of her behaviour. Behaviour she didn’t understand. Leon had ticked every box she’d wanted ticking…and yet he’d made her feel inadequate.

Or did I do that to myself? Was it my insecurities that took me out of there, not him?

Turning her mobile phone over and over in her palm, Tina trailed a lacklustre spoon around her uneaten cereal and then threw the spoon down in frustration. ‘Get a grip, woman!’

Acting quickly in case she changed her mind, Tina switched on her personal email, and scanned down a list of nineteen messages awaiting her attention. Eighteen of them were alerts from Superior Singles telling her that her profile had been viewed and associated messages, likes, winks and communication requests awaited her attention. The final one was from an incredibly optimistic Nigerian company, kindly enquiring if she’d like to benefit from the joys of penile extensions.

Fat chance.

There was nothing from Leon. Nothing at all.

‘Serves you right!’ Tina placed her phone face down on the table and abandoned the remaining cornflakes. ‘He clearly has more pride than you do. What did you think was going to happen? Did you think a man like Leon would be begging for an explanation or another chance? He’s probably already found a sophisticated blonde to massage his ego.’

Annoyed by the fact she was hurt by his lack of communication, when she knew he was not the man for her, Tina swept her bag onto her shoulder, grabbed her car keys and marched towards work.
