The next morning Lyle wakes up with a bloody hangover.

He remembers his promise to his ex wife to go around to the house today.

He gets up rather reluctantly and grabs a quick shower and gets dressed.

He checks his breath for alcohol and brushes his teeth.

He looked at his watch 8.20. He realised he didn't have long to get ready.

He left the room that he had stayed in the night before. His room was in a pub.
The pub itself was a bed and breakfast. And as he walked down the stairs he bumped into the landlady. "Would you like some breakfast?."

He smiles at her friendly. "No thanks I don't have a lot of time.. In fact I'm in s rush."

She nodded and let's him pass down the stairs.

He gets inside the car and drives towards his old place.

He knocks on the door.
"Hi."
She looks at him up and down realising he's wearing the same clothes she kicked him out with. "Have you had a shower?.. You'd better not be drunk."

Lyle rolls his eyes at her. "Is that all you can say.. Not even a Hey Lyle nice to see you?.. At least let me in."

She let her ex husband in with a sigh. She closes the door behind him. "You know.. I'm starting to think this was a bad idea.."

He snaps at her. "Your the one that invited me over here!.. Besides I've made the journey over now and we don't want me to have a wasted journey do we?."

She shrugs. "No your right.. Perhaps not.

He stands facing her in the living room. "So.. What do you want?."
