I wake up the next morning with a fuzzy four-can head. The alarm clock gets snoozed twice until Iâm pushing it for time. Then I remember the carâs fixed. I shower, dress, then trot outside. I canât help smiling when the car roars into life. Even though the exhaust sounds throaty, itâs a real joy to arrive at work not dripping in sweat.
Gary and I had a really good chat last night. Heâs great company, but heâs trapped in the house most days because he canât walk far. No wonder I rarely see him. Sounds as if his wife works hard to pay all the bills. Luckily, they only had one kid, and heâs currently backpacking around Peru. Spawny git, Gary and I said in unison after he mentioned it.
After the third beer loosened our tongues, we had a good moan about married life. As we chatted through things, it became obvious that our wives might irritate us, but they are doing their best, and perhaps we ought to mention that we appreciate them more often. Gary reckons Abi will come back, but Iâm not so sure. Iâll take Nasimaâs advice and send Abi an email when sheâs been gone a week though.
I almost told him about Billie, but didnât. It would have been helpful for someone to tell me to steer clear. Colt should be due at court this week. Iâm going to check with him to see if he has a confirmed date. Once heâs left, Iâll be straight back to the male side and away from temptation.
I arrive at work and typically the first prisoner to come out of her cell is Billie. Sheâs wearing a white T-shirt and baggy jeans for the gardens today. She must be one of those people who tan easily, because she looks so brown, she could be Mediterranean. With her blue eyes, itâs hard to tear my gaze away. She gives me a brief wave over breakfast but doesnât come near me and heads off to work quietly. With the rest of the workers gone and quite a few off the wing at court, we have a peaceful morning.
I find myself flicking through the observation book. Itâs way more detailed than on the male side. I can see where Peabody has struggled to control the wing. There are verbal and written warnings for many of the youngsters. He wrote that Billie Harding is a nightmare on one of the days. Sheratonâs comments are more clinical. I wonder if they looked at this book after Sandringham did what he did. Sandringhamâs scrawlings are almost unreadable. His only note one day is âSTUPID!â It looks as though he was struggling for a while, but lots of men act like The Great Pretender. They present as chilled and in control, but beneath the surface, they are in turmoil.
At eleven, Nasima comes over from the hub and walks onto the landing, which is weird as she would usually ring. She scowls when she sees my feet up on the office desk, but doesnât mention it.
