“Yes very much, must go then, bye.” Cat turned and walked away.  “Bye Cat.”

That had been three weeks ago and Sam had not seen her since avoiding all the places she may go.  Sam had watched the DVD but it had not even registered, her thoughts had returned to Cat, her soft sensual lips, her warm loving arms and their passionate love making, the tears flowed she could hold them in no longer giving in to the grief she felt at losing Cat to Frankie.  Now here she was pacing again back and forth across the lounge, she had to get a grip but nothing had ever come close to the depths of despair she felt.  The shrill sound of the intercom buzzer cut into her thoughts.

“Hello,” Sam heard a nervous voice, “Eh… Sam its Cat, can I come up….please?” there was a tremor  there too.

“Why Cat? I don’t know if I can face you in my flat.”

“Please I need to talk to you and there is something I need you to see.”

Sam buzzed her in and opened the door to the flat she plumped herself back on the couch and waited.  Cat’s footsteps sounded hollow on the landing outside then the soft step on the carpet in the hall.  “In here.” Sam shouted.

Cat came in her eyes red and swollen with crying her hair tousled and untidy, definitely un Cat like.   Sam stood up but Cat urged her to sit down again “What is it Cat? What’s happened?”

“I’m sorry for coming but I needed to see you and to show you something.”

“Ok.”

“Frankie’s gone Sam she left me a letter, I found it on the table when I got in from work.”

“What! Where?”

Cat handed Sam the letter

Darling Cat

I know that you said you loved me and wanted to be with me but it has become clear to me that you love Sam.  Ever since we have been together again you have talked none stop about her.  I realised that you are still in love with her and that you thought you were still in love with me.  I think that you were in love with our memories Cat because once we got back together you and I didn’t get on the same.  I guess at the back of it I knew I was also in love with our memories but I wanted it to be real again.  I am leaving Glasgow, I am going back to LA and Mum is coming with me for a while we need some time to get to know one another.  Whilst I’m out of the way maybe if it’s not too late for you and Sam you could give it another go.
