would sit out there in the garden if the weather was nice, or play
dominoes if it rained. Once she made me the most delicious strawberry
cake and the three of us ate it with cream drizzled over the top. It
was such a treat!” She wrings her hands together whilst speaking
and I wonder miserably if Dave has ever mentioned my strawberry
allergy to her. She smacks her lips together, as if she has only just
finished eating a slice of the cake. Frantically, I look towards the
door in the hope that he might return but the doorway stands empty.
