\nWe\u2019d overslept. I must have cancelled the three alarms I\u2019d set on my phone as the sound of the pre-booked taxi impatiently beeping its horn woke me with a start. \u2018Shit! Shell, get up; we are really fucking late!\u2019 I jumped from my bed and flung on some clothes before hopping into my shoes. \u2018What?! Ah man,\u2019 Shelley cried, tumbling from the sofa to her unsteady feet. After the bust-up with Marie we\u2019d stayed in the pub until closing time, nursing a bottle of wine as I\u2019d resolved that this trip would be the solution to all my problems.

I triple checked I\u2019d turned off the heating, locked the windows and hadn\u2019t left the oven on.

\n\u2018Coming!\u2019 I called back, lugging my backpack onto my back. I had to admit that it did feel nice having it back on. In the taxi to the airport, driven by the world\u2019s most pissed-off driver, my empty stomach fizzed with anticipation and excitement.
