On Court's End - The Fence
It's been a few months since Christine put a stop to the relationship that she and Elaine had. All she could think of now was that she really hated that little dog and how she resisted the urge to dropkick the barking rat. She did miss Elaine though. Christine's phone looked inviting as was the urge to give Elaine a call. Her new roomie hadn't bailed out on the rent and everytime they met up Elaine was smiling. It was still hard to tell what lay hidden under that brilliant smile even after four years.
The phone was ringing. It rang and rang. It rang some more and just when Christine was about to give up a squeak of a hello came through.
"H-hello, E," Christine stammered. It was so unlike her to stammer but she felt that she owed it to Elaine. At least a simple explanation if asked.
"Hey, Tin-Tin! How's it going?" came the answer from the speakers. Christine could not see her facial expression and she hoped with all her heart it didn't have sad creases. There were no bouts of meloncholy whenever Elaine spoke. Christine felt better and thanked the stars that Elaine was so quick to move.
A date was scheduled for a lunch meet-up. It was good to know Elaine had moved on to bigger and better things, bigger like the cup size of her new girlfriend and better... That's yet to be seen. Christine put pressed the disconnect button on her phone. Thirty minutes of talking and everything's patched nicely.
Five minutes later the doorbell of her new apartment rang. Christine walked lazily along and peered through the peep-hole. A fish-eye view showed a comfortably dressed man wearing mittens holding a crock pot. She opened the door.
"Hi," said the stranger. "I'm here to welcome a new neighbour," He smiled.
"I've been here for a month now," Christine replied dryly.
"Yes, well, I've just arrived from vaca and needed some dinner company to tell you the truth. I'm Theo,"
"Well, Theo. I'm Christine and I'm hungry so come on in. Boy, does that smell good,"
