âThey say you can tell the old married couples in a restaurant by the fact that they donât talk to each other.â
âMmh.â
âI said, couples whoâve been together for ages stop communicating.â
âIs that so?â
Samantha took a deep breath. He was still shovelling curry into his mouth. She had finished eating ages ago, but he was still hard at it, to the exclusion of all else. She sat back and looked around the room in frustration. It seemed to her as if all the other tables were full of people talking, laughing and enjoying themselves. Everybody except Neil and her. Although they were neither old, nor married, this was the way their relationship had developed over the past year. She sighed inwardly.
Then he paused, laid down his fork and looked up. She felt pleasantly surprised until she saw him raise a finger and call the waiter over.
âAnother pint of lager, please.â The waiter nodded and went off.
âYou could have asked if I wanted something.â She knew she sounded petulant, but she was powerless to hide it.
Neil had already picked up his fork again by this time, but he hesitated, shooting her a glance. âWell, do you want something?â
âNo, thank you.â
