Lydia, said a small voice inside her head, calm down. Far away hills are greener. He’s missing you just as much as you are missing him.
She shook her head and started to tell him about her new flat and Colin singing Beyoncé at dinner.
He laughed when she related how her dad had told Colin to zip it or lose a limb. She pictured Dominic lounging on the couch, his brown hair flopping over his eyes.
Fifteen minutes later, she hung up the phone. Closing her eyes, she tried to block out that niggling, uneasy feeling. The idea that Dominic was slipping away from her into a new exciting life that didn’t include her.
Lydia Kelly, get a grip, she scolded herself. This is Dominic you’re talking about. He loves you to distraction. One more year and everything will be different. You’ll be back together and, who knows, you might have a job in RTÉ as an investigatory journalist.
Lydia drifted into a dreamless sleep, while hundreds of miles away her boyfriend lay awake thinking about her.
Dominic had been bowled over the first day he had helped her to her feet. He was intrigued by this fiery, passionate young girl. Jolted, he had bought her coffee and boldly massaged her injured wrist.
He realised how lucky he was to have a girl like Lydia. She was genuinely a special person. He hated being away from her, but he knew that he had to follow his dream.
