He saw the small envelope first. It contained a card with the legend ‘THANKS!’ on the cover. Inside, Sofia had written a brief message.
Dear Paolo, thanks for a wonderful ‘games night’! You were such a good sport. Sorry I had to leave so soon, but I have to work to make ends meet. I’m so glad our ‘ends met’ (hehe!). I’m sure we’ll meet again, but they might not! Sofia X.
PS IOU repayment details and stuff in large envelope. Sx
Paolo smiled at the ‘Xes’ and reminder of their games.
A smile that quicky turned into a scowl...

Thank you very much Drew and thanks too for spotting it. I never thought it would get beyond 100, if that! I really appreciate your unstinting support.

Sorry, I hit the button before I finished. It's been a most gripping story and doesn't seem like it's been running that many drabbles.

Thanks Christopher and, ankle aside, I hope you had a good holiday. I hope the ankle swelling subsides pretty damn soon.

Btw Christopher, some years ago I had an ankle that blew up and I had no idea what caused it. It turned out that it was a minute insect bite and I had to have my leg in the air for two weeks and loads of v. strong antibiotics to shift it. Best to get to the doc.

Oh dear. I have a little spot on that foot that looks like a bite. The swelling is subsiding, every morning it's not as big as it was, but of course, after being up and on it for a bit it swells back up. I ate some shrimp down at the beach which I don't eat often. I'm wondering if it could be an allergy I developed. If it's not better by Monday I'll go to my doctor.
Thanks for the concern.
