‘Your problem is that you have not allowed yourself to have any fun since you split up with John,’ Mike said in his usual direct way, but as usual he was spot on.
‘You’re right and to be honest, I’ve been thinking of packing the job in and doing some travelling. I need something new in my life right now. I need to get away from here.’
‘Look Paul, you can do that by all means, but what you really need is some sex. How many guys have you been with since John?’
I just looked at him, not knowing what to say.
‘Well, has there been anyone, or have you just devoted yourself to that job you constantly tell me you hate?’
‘You’re right,’ I said. ‘To be honest, after being with the same person for twelve years it’s bloody hard to know how or where to start. It’s all right for you; you have that whole effortless charm thing going on. It’s a bit more difficult for the rest of us.’
