I waited two days for Dawn to call me, two long days before it occurred to me that something was seriously wrong. And I had a creeping suspicion that I knew what, or rather who, was the problem.

Charlotte had known about Dawn and I hadn’t even thought to ask her where she’d come across that information. After all, we’d only had two not-dates, so how the hell could my ex-wife have known?

But I was more worried about what Charlotte might have said to Dawn rather than how she found out about us. If there was an ‘us’—which was beginning to seem less and less likely.

Stirring things up had always been second nature to Charlotte. Had she said something to Dawn?

When my first text went unanswered, the trickle of unease kept me tossing and turning all night.

So I sent a second text asking if we could meet, and this time Dawn did respond.

* I don’t think that’s a good idea, so I’m going to say no. Please don’t ask me again.

Good luck in the future. *

I cursed loudly when I saw the answer. I knew that Charlotte had fucked things up for me again. There was no point even wondering about why, but how had me pulling my hair out.

I texted Dawn several more times, but she never replied. One day, I tried to call her, but by then she’d changed her number.

I thought about going to see her, somehow convince her to change her mind . . . but what was the point? She’d made it very clear that she didn’t want me around.

Desperation turned to anger, and anger turned to crushing despair. I thought Dawn was different, special. I really shouldn’t trust my instincts about women, they were obviously broken.

Stan rested his head on my knee and sighed heavily as I pulled his ears gently.

“Just you and me again, buddy. You and me.”

I decided there and then that relationships were a distraction I didn’t need. Instead, I’d concentrate on the next mission.

And that gave me a newfound desire not to kill myself. Unexpected, but true.

But the following day, I came home and found a check from Dawn for $500 in my mailbox, and a brief note saying it was to pay for the tires I’d put on her car.

I tore it into pieces and let it scatter in the wind.
