She sat looking into her coo...
Since I retired, I had got into the habit every morning, about 8am, of walking into the local shopping centre. There I would buy the daily paper, and sit in Costas over a flat white.

Shelly had gone out with a good friend of mine for over a year, and their break-up was sudden and dramatic. To cut a long story short, they were both at a student party where Shelly – brunette, sex-kitten, and always a party girl – had ended up fucking a guy she had just met. It wasn't as though she tried to be discreet about it either; one minute, she was...
