WAITING
‘Nine o’clock by the statue.’
His typical text – terse and lacking in
detail. He assumes too much, gives too little, yet I have been here since eight.
It is now nearly ten.
When the morning rush eased off I
felt too conspicuous in the thinning crowd and moved to the mezzanine. From
here the people look insignificant, and with a jolt of clarity I realise that
is how he sees me. Suddenly I am angry. As I leave the concourse the fresh air
clears my head.
At nine pm my phone buzzes. ‘Where
are you? I’m waiting.’
I delete his message.
