Grenade

More difficult than him just breaking up with me? What else has he got? Can there be another grenade up his sleeve?

What is it?

It’s about Nemo.

My heart freezes.

Is he OK? Has he escaped from the flat? You haven’t lost him, have you?

I told him that calling a cat Nemo was a bad idea. It would wander off one day and then we’d have to go on a quest to find it. Exactly like in the movie, except with cats instead of fish.

No, but I sort of need to lose him. We need to find him a new home. It’s sort of urgent.
