Carenza left on her gap year travels early
this morning.
I am attempting to be like a Noel
Coward character - brave and witty in the face of emotional turmoil.
WhatsApp from Carenza:
Safely at the gate: flight leaving on
time.
Will miss you!!!
WhatsApp from me:
I
would be missing you too if only I weren’t so busy interviewing lodgers for
your room.
Now the flight is in the air I am
thinking that maybe I sounded a little uncaring.
It is all bloody Noel Coward’s fault.
Sadly I go in search of the envelopes, containing her essential information, and only to be opened if
absolutely necessary.
And discover that Carenza has left us
something to smile at too.
She is probably running bets with her
friends on how soon it will be before I give into the temptation to rip them
open and discover all her shady secrets.
Eat your heart out, Noel Coward.
