CRAIG

I wonder what Megan is thinking about in that garage right now. If I had to guess, I would say that she is going back over our entire relationship, starting with how we met, in a bid to try and figure out how early the deception started. If she’s clever, she might be able to work some of it out, but there are plenty of things she won’t know unless I let her in on them. Depending on what mood I’m in, I might be generous with the information I give her. But with the mood that I’m in right now?

I’m more than happy to leave her to stew.

Having enjoyed a quiet morning on the sofa with the laptop, I am now in the kitchen whipping up a delightful chicken salad with a Caesar dressing. None of the items in the fridge spoiled when the power was out earlier because it was only off for an hour and not all night like I had Megan believe. I also made sure that she didn’t throw anything away, even though I knew she was tempted to. She would have been happy to put everything in the bin and buy fresh stuff to replace it, but I couldn’t be having that.

Food shopping is the last thing I have time for today.

Dousing my healthy lunch in a generous helping of white sauce, I pick up my plate and carry it into the front room, where I plan on enjoying my food in front of the television. I very rarely eat my meals on the sofa, and never at this time of the day, but I plan on treating myself today.

I’ve earnt it, after all.

Pressing the button on the remote control, I scoop up a couple of mouthfuls of the tasty chicken while the television turns on, then I spend a couple of minutes flicking through the channels trying to find something half-decent to watch. But it’s true what they say about daytime telly.

It’s awful.

I feel a slight pang of sympathy for Megan and the fact that she had to sit at home day after day and find something to entertain herself with amongst this depressing array of broadcasting. But it’s only a slight pang of sympathy.

She doesn’t deserve any more than that.

I finally settle on an old episode of Only Fools and Horses, which isn’t really my kind of humour but will do for now. Beggars can’t be choosers, and there isn’t much choice to be had based on what was on every other channel that I scrolled through.

As I watch Del Boy and Rodney get up to mischief while enjoying my healthy lunch, I think about what time I will serve Megan her first meal later today. I’ll probably give her some food tonight, although I could make her wait until tomorrow morning. That way, she would have started to think that I was never going to feed her. But that would be too cruel. I want her to suffer for what she has done, but I don’t want her to starve.
