Ruby
his
marriage
barely
even
started
never
mind
ended.
Unfortu-

nately
for
him.

How
do
you
feel
about
it?

Sad
for
him.
Happy
for
him.

Now
you
can
tell
me
the
truth.
How
do
you
really
feel?

Oh
Mum

Oh
Mum.

Oh
my
god
Mum.

The
most
bizarre
thing
has
happened.

I’ve
never
felt
so
.
.
.
odd
in
my
whole
entire
life.

Forgive
me
for
speaking
like
a
12-year-old
but
that’s
exactly
how
I
feel

right
now.
Last
night
was
the
weirdest
night
of
my
life.
I
met
up
with
Toby

and
we
went
to
dinner
at
Raul’s
restaurant
in
the
old
part
of
town.
In
order

to
get
there
we
had
to
walk
up
a
really
steep
cobbled
stone
hill,
passing
by

women
dressed
in
black
from
head
to
toe
who
were
just
sitting
on
wooden

chairs
outside
their
houses,
enjoying
the
warmth
and
silence.

The
place
only
had
a
few
tables
and
as
we
were
the
only
tourists
there
I

almost
felt
bad
for
intruding
but
they
were
so
friendly
and
there
was
such
a

good
atmosphere.
It’s
not
a
part
of
the
island
that
my
job
allows
me
to
see

very
often
unfortunately.

The
manager
of
Toby’s
hotel
suggested
the
restaurant
and
it
was
such
a

good
choice
because
it
sat
high
on
a
mountaintop
overlooking
the
island
on

one
side
and
the
sea
on
the
other.
The
air
was
warm,
the
stars
were
twinkling,

a
man
played
on
the
violin
in
the
corner.
It
was
like
something
out
of
a
movie

only
it
was
so
much
better
because
it
felt
real
and
it
was
happening
to
me.

We
chatted
and
chatted
and
chatted
for
hours
until
well
after
we
had
fin-

ished
eating
and
eventually
we
were
asked
to
leave
at
2a.m.
I
don’t
think
I’ve

ever
laughed
so
much
in
my
life.
We
continued
talking
as
we
strolled
along

the
beach
and
the
air
felt
so
magical!
We
talked
about
old
times
and
caught

up
on
new
times.

Mum
I
don’t
no
if
it
was
the
wine,
or
the
heat,
the
food,
or
just
my
hor-

mones
but
there
were
some
forces
in
motion
last
night.
Toby
touched
my

arm
and
I
felt
all
.
.
.
zingy
from
head
to
toe.
I’m
almost
31
years
old
and

I’ve
never
felt
that
before.
And
then
there
was
this
silence.
This
really
weird

silence.
We
stared
at
each
other
as
though
we
were
seeing
each
other
for
the
