Chapter 23

It’s strange having Scott in the house. Nadeeka had forgotten how much space he takes up, how much noise he makes.

He has music on constantly, leaving it playing in whatever room he has recently vacated, and has now commandeered Nadeeka’s breakfast bar as an office, setting up a tripod to film content for his ‘side-hustle’.

‘Success comes from the five to nine, not the nine to five,’ he tells Nadeeka, when she comes downstairs at half-past seven on Monday morning. She ignores him and puts the kettle on. Had he been this much of a knob when they were married?

‘How was the sofa?’ she asks. Nish would have happily given up her room – any excuse for a sleepover with her big sister – but having Scott upstairs feels too intrusive, too permanent. This is strictly a practical arrangement.
