Just an illusion ..

'Good morning, my darling. How is your day going, beautiful?'

Aw. How sweet is that!?

'Hi, baby! I'm wonderful, thank you ..'

Now. Here's the thing ..

I read, well, googled, 'What-to-do-in-a-new-relationship', and got a few pointers. Sweetness, laughter, lightness. That's what it said!
Dinny want to mess it up, noooo way. Don't want to be standin' at the last chance saloon!

'I am taking a meeting in 5 minutes, quick call to say l can't WAIT to see you, ma darlin'. What you up to'.

Mornin' telly on. Quick scramble around to find remote. Mute ..

'Oh. I will be headin' out for the gym soon, honey. You know me ..'

'That's my girl. Don't overdo it, tho. Just had bit lunch. Have you eaten?'

Eh, well, l don't count 2 bags Kettle crisps an' a bar o' Green and Black's organic milk chocolate, food. Would you?

'No, not yet. Get somethin' after my swim'.

'Got to go. See you tomorrow. Ring me from train, and l'll leave the office to collect you. Ok my darling?'

'Remember to stop for cuppa later, sweetie. Bye bye for now'.

'I will, darling. Bye bye. Thanks for caring 'bout me'.

I lean over, collect remote from under the cushions, and go back to old Jeremy vile.

See? I'm learning !!
