Chapter 1337 Sex Cheats, Clash & Consequences:>Ep21

• The wipers lazily moved across the windscreen clearing the sleet as it piled down from the grey winter sky. Matt watched them move back and forth feeling they captured the time of year stuck in the doldrums of post-Christmas holidays where every day folk realised they'd eaten & drank a little too much and spent way more than they planned to. But Matt was in the doldrums for something completely different.
• During the last year he had a girlfriend but there was a snag. Ann was the wife of another man, Lance, and over Christmas he found out about their affair and all hell had broken loose. Lance torched the home he had with Ann and she had simply disappeared, quitting her job at Bournemouth Royal Infirmary with no forwarding details other than she was going after her husband who was in the Army. Matt decided to go after Ann so took a week off work trying to track her down in what he believed was her home town by checking out all NHS and private hospitals to see if she had started work. Every avenue drew a blank so he was mournfully driving back from the west country to Bournemouth trying to work out what to do next. In the end it wasn't what he was expecting.
• Matt lived with his gran she was, as far as he was aware, his only living relative. He sat in the kitchen staring at his phone whilst she made a pot of tea. She knew he had been involved with someone she strongly suspected of being married but didn't know the full details. Over a cup of tea, it all came tumbling out, a potted history of the previous year right up to Matt walking back into the house twenty minutes ago having been trying to track Ann down.
