"With Candy back home new realities have to be found."
Being watched was a new experience for Andy, and being watched by his wife was downright weird. People are unfaithful to their spouses all the time and they enjoy it. It ought to be fun.This wasn’t even cheating, she’d told...
"Just when Andy thinks things are settling down Candy has an idea and Marsha drops a bomb"
Candy loved her new boot, though that might amount to an over description. There was no style involved, simply an arrangement of sheets of foam plastic wrapped around her leg from the knee down, held in place by straps. All...
"Andy, Candy and Marsha begin to get to grips with the three of them at home."
It sounded simple, all lie down, all go to sleep, but for Candy, it wasn’t. Her head was buzzing, she wanted to talk, but had no idea what to say, or who to say it to, and while her head...
"Candy comes home by a roundabout route."
Candy was sitting out of bed when Andy arrived on the ward.“Hey, that looks good.”“You ain’t seen nothing yet,” she said gripping the arms of the chair and pushing herself upright.“Wow. Can you walk now?”“That’s the tricky bit,” she said,...

Marsha met Andy at the door. “Are you going to go to Mistress?”“Still thinking about it.”“What is there to think about?”“It’s a shot in the dark. I have no way of knowing if it’s right for me. If I was...
"Andy meets Marsha's former Mistress — a step into the unknown."
Andy and Marsha sat in the car outside a six-foot wall, neat, anonymous brickwork in good condition. Beyond the massive wrought-iron gates, a gravel drive swung past neatly pruned shrubs that hid almost all but the roof of the building....
"While Candy is still in hospital, Andy begins to think ahead."
After Andy left the Intensive Care Unit, Candy was taken off the ventilator for a conversation with the anaesthetist.“We’d like to try you on a special kind of local anaesthetic — it’s like an epidural except the tube goes into...
"A continuation of an old story."
I thought this story was finished, but things have a habit of going on in my brain so it turns out that there is more.For those who didn’t read the earlier chapters, and those who have forgotten them, it may...
"Leaving home."
Far apart, and facing the same blinding sun ten wings tilt forward, preparing for the impending ignition of their low-hanging engines. We pretend that each of us feels the adrenaline of that momentum at exactly the same time. Small tears...
