It made a change for him to keep her waiting.

Throughout the 8 months, 2 weeks and three days since meeting, he calculated he’d spent 59 hours and 44 minutes waiting. (Approximately)

Waiting at bus stops, railway stations, at cinemas, restaurants, hotels. He’d also waited for her to select shoes, hats, dresses, handbags. And the endless waiting for her to complete her makeup after taking a shower.

It was his turn tonight. He threw back his shoulders, thrust his chest forward and opened the door wearing her favourite red dress.

Her face was a picture – well worth the wait.
