The husband and the wife arrive at…



The husband and the wife arrived at their cottage on the coast one moonless night. Both were ready for a change and told themselves this time away was the beginning. From a distance they saw that their cottage, mid-terraced in a row of holiday homes, was the only one with its lights still on, shining into the dark. The wife said it looked exactly like the pictures and when the husband stepped from the car to unlock the gate, she smiled at him as he turned back, before realising he wouldn’t see her in the glare of the headlights.
    Approaching a house with all the lights on made the wife feel like an intruder, but the husband turned the key and edged her in with his hand on the small of her back. Everything awaiting them seemed exactly as they expected. “Nice of them to leave the heating on,” said the husband, peering into the dining room. The wife walked upstairs, half expecting to come upon another couple in their bed, but instead the towels and blankets were neatly folded, not a crease in sight.
