Chapter 37
Adam: Hey, is everything OK? You haven’t replied to my last couple of texts. I can take over the OS stuff if it’s too much?
Eve: Hey
Eve: I’m sorry — things have been a bit all over the place
Eve: I still want to sort this vet thing
Eve: Have you seen her?
Adam: Not for a few days now. I hope she’s OK. Shout if you spot her?
Eve: Of course
* * *
Eve: Just seen her on my patio and she ran in your direction
Eve: Can you check??
Adam: I’m not home, sorry!
Eve: Educating the masses?
Adam: Ha. I’m actually at the hospital — work would be preferable.
Eve: Oh, sorry
Eve: Are you OK?
Eve: You don’t have to give details if it’s something embarrassing
Eve: Or at all, actually
Eve: I’ve made this weird, haven’t I?
Adam: Haha, don’t worry, I can take it. It’s not me, though — I’m still fit for service for the stray cats of Greater Manchester. My brother’s in with pneumonia.
Eve: I’m really sorry. Do you need anything?
Adam: Honestly, I’m fine, but thank you for asking.
Eve: Offer stands whenever you need it

Adam: Did you leave a burrito on my doorstep?
Eve: Yes
Eve: I thought you might need some tea
Adam: Thank you. Seriously. It’s really good.
Eve: No problem
Eve: See — I can be neighbourly!
Adam: I believe you ;)

Eve: I can hear meowing
Eve: Can you?
Adam: It’s two in the morning . . .
Eve: But can you hear it?
Adam: Nope. Why are you awake?
Eve: I’m not sleeping too well at the moment
Eve: You?
Adam: My phone vibrated.
Eve: Sorry!
Adam: Why aren’t you sleeping well?
Eve: Busy brain
Eve: How’s your brother?
Adam: He’s much better — thank you for asking. He’s got Cerebral Palsy, so it was a really tough time.
Eve: Sounds like it was really scary
Eve: I’m glad he’s OK
Adam: Thanks, me too. I hope you manage to get some sleep!
Eve: I will, eventually :)
