As I stood in the shower, enjoying the feeling of the warm water running over my body, I thought about what I had just done. How long would he stay now? I had just invited a total stranger to stay here wth me...but he's the first I've met who's anything remotely like me...but still, they may not be a good thing. I made up my mind to be cautious around Robbie; and if things didn't pan out, then there was a meal close by.
In a few minutes, I was out of the shower, and dressed. I went back to the kitchen to discover him reading the paper, still nursing his cup of coffee. It seemed rather quaint in a way, as if they were a true couple. I leaned against the doorway as I asked."Why do you read that rubbish?"
