To my utmost distress, Jane returns. I want to run to her and scream, No! Go back to where you came from. You shouldn’t be back! She’s wearing the funny glasses even though the weather is grey, and tiny droplets of rain dot them. She looks pale and tired, and somehow smaller, as though she has shrunk after her husband’s death. Murder. She keeps her head low as she walks, her arms at her side as she carries two bags with her. I go to her and meow to attract her attention. She glances down at me and smiles.

‘Hello, Theodore. So lovely to see you.’

I meow in greeting and follow her up the steps. She fumbles in her handbag for the keys and opens the door. The apartment smells of sadness and there is that faint smell that arises when a place has been kept closed for too long. She drops her bags on the floor and heads straight to the sofa to lie down, burying her face in the cushion. I glance out onto the balcony, climb up onto the sofa, and lie next to her and purr. As if this might offer her comfort, as if it will take all her pain away and bring her husband back.
