Chapter 109
Chris is alone. The remains of a takeaway curry are in front of him.
Michael van Gerwen dispatched Peter Wright by six sets to love, finishing the darts early.
So now there is nothing on TV and no one to watch it with.
He is wondering whether he should go to the twenty-four-hour garage for some crisps. Just to take the edge off.
His phone buzzes. That’s something, at least. It’s Donna.
Might watch Jason Ritchie’s “Famous Family Trees” on catch-up. You fancy?
Chris looks at his watch; it’s nearly ten. Why not? Another buzz.
And wear your dark blue shirt, please. The one with the buttons.
Chris is used to Donna by now, so he does as he is told. As always, he gets changed without looking in a mirror, because who wants to see that? He texts back.
Yes, ma’am, anything for a bit of Jason Ritchie. On my way.
Donna’s date had clearly not been a roaring success.
