On Monday,
the sun had come out from behind the clouds. Susan felt ready to start again. She wrote a list, went for a run, phoned her mother, combed her hair and read the newspaper. She was trying to forget that she was lonely. And she was trying to be better.

On Tuesday,
the sun was beating down. It was too hot to go outside. And Susan’s foot was sore. She sat on her bed and trawled the internet.
