Chapter Two
"Hello?"
"Hi. It's me. Harry"
"I guessed as much. No other bugger wakes me up with phone calls at ridiculous times of the morning!"
"I'm sorry."
"Look, I'll be on the Grid in…"
"No. No there's no need."
"Pardon?"
"There's no need, Ruth. There's no national emergency. No crisis."
"Harry. I know I'm half asleep but are you saying this isn't a red flash? I mean, why else would you be calling me in the middle of the night?"
"What, even after our conversation earlier your analytical brain can't think of any other reason that I might be calling you?"
"No, Harry. No it can't. Not when you said you had nothing to say on the matter."
"What? When?"
"Before, in the office. After my… well after I said what I said, you said you didn't have anything to say."
"No Ruth. I said I didn't know what to say. Quite a difference wouldn't you say?"
"I'd rather call it a technicality."
"This is nice."
"What?"
"This. Us. Talking, debating, whatever you want to call it."
"Harry, it's four o'clock in the flaming morning! And while we're on the matter, why did you call me at this imprudent hour?"
"Well, I tried your bell but you didn't answer the door."
"You tried my what? Harry? Where the hell are you?"
"Erm… I might be on your door step."
"You might be on my…Oh for goodness sake! You bloody… man! Just… Oh- wait there! I'll be down in a minute."
Nearly finished chapter three but trying to decide whether to split it or if people would forgive a slightly longer offering… Let me know your thoughts
