Sam threw her car keys on to the coffee table and sat down heavily on the couch, she lay her head back and stared at the ceiling, she was tired but knew she would not sleep.  She had kept on working until her boss had told her to go home and sleep, she was alone again, Cat had chosen Frankie.  Sam had moved out of Cat’s place as soon as she could which was only a couple of days after she had told her that Frankie was the one, a colleague had a friend going away for 6 months and needed a tenant for her flat so she had sent Sam round.  It had now been 4 months since that night Cat had asked her to sit down and nervously told her she was going to try again with Frankie, that she still loved Frankie and needed to be with her.  Sam had felt a cold hand grip her heart and an ache had set in that had not gone away.  This time she thought Cat was the one, she was totally in love with her, yes she had loved before but not this way, when she and Lynn had split after 6 months it had been a relief she had realised it was lust and not love she had felt.  Sam had moved to Glasgow and loved the city and its people, they were warm and friendly, yes she had seen the bad side too but she was a cop. Sam got up from the couch and went to the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of beer from the fridge and went to the draw for the bottle opener “Where is it?” she cursed as she rifled through the draw, she spotted it on the work top were she had left it the night before pulling the top off she threw the opener back on the work top with a clatter and gulped down half the bottle as she moved back to the lounge.  Booting up her lap top Sam sat back down and waited as the computer came to life, opening her emails there was the usual spam and a couple of emails from friends and one from her brother.  These made her smile for a while but she couldn’t keep still and was soon pacing the floor something that had become a habit over the last few months.  Sam’s thoughts returned to Cat and the last times she had seen her.  They had been in the same bar but Cat had not spotted her until they bumped into one another in the toilets.
