It took Bob exactly two days to go back to normal after moving in. He hid in my room for a day. Then ventured out, worked out where his food and temporary litter tray was, before heading back to my bedroom and staying put.

I wished I could have said the same for me. While I loved that this was now our home, I didn’t feel as settled as Bob. Or Mads.

Over the next few weeks, I saw first-hand how hard Mads worked. He was up and out of the house before I was awake, leaving the place to me unless I was at Uni. And he was often out in the evenings working as well. I chose to ignore that, hoping it wasn’t at the fight club. I’d find myself checking for bruising when we did see each other but saw no marks or damage.

Considering we shared a house, we hardly saw one another. I had hoped we’d be able to spend more time together, watch TV, trying cooking, or simply hanging out. But it wasn’t like that. I wondered why Maddison kept himself so busy and how he wasn’t dead on his feet all the time. He made me tired just thinking of all the work he did. It certainly deflated my expectations of what living together would be.

“Hey.” I stopped on the stairs watching Mads shove his feet into his shoes, ready to go out by the looks of it. “Will you be back later?”

“Yeah, maybe late.”

I nodded. “If you’re in tomorrow, I was thinking about giving a lasagne a try. I’m missing your mum’s.”

“Sure. That’d be good. See you later.” The door shut behind him and left me with the hollow silence of the four walls around me.

I wanted to kick myself. I was putting all my happiness on someone else—the habit of a lifetime. Surely, I’d learned my lesson by now?
