She adjusted the sunglasses on her nose and smiled to
herself; she could rest now and kick back, the worst was over.
She opened her book and something fell out, making her jump.
She thought it was a moth of some kind, but it wasn’t, and
when she realised what it actually was she wished it had been.
She held up the scrap of paper and looked at the fine print on

the things that had hooked her.

rolling it tight between her fingers, tears welling up; his words wouldn’t sway
her now, it was too late, she was long gone.
What a horrid surprise, spoiling a perfect afternoon. Glad she's moved on though. x
