Kay had hoped she and Dean were on the right track, but was he just using her?

Doing the ironing while listening to her favourite radio show, Kay smiled and thought of Dean. She had met him at a party and had been shocked to discover he was the man she’d been listening to every Sunday afternoon for two years.

As he played a listener’s request, she made coffee, then hurried back to hear what he had to say.

Normally he chatted about films, TV, music, anything except his private life, so she was surprised when he started talking about a date.

‘We arranged to meet at the Royal Oak. The moment she walked in, I noticed a piece of Sellotape stuck to her hair. She’d been wrapping presents for her twin nieces, lost track of time and got ready in a rush.’

A chill ran down Kay’s spine. It wasn’t the Royal Oak they’d been to, it was the Red Lion, but everything else was exactly as it had happened on their second date, two days ago.

‘We’d been getting on like a house on fire. I was sure she’d invite me in for coffee, but when I tried to kiss her goodnight, she pulled away and said she had to go.’ Dean paused to take a call. ‘We have Mike from Oakhampton on line two.‘

‘Hi, Dean. Maybe your date didn’t fancy you.’

Dean chuckled. ‘Come on. I’m a catch. Women are queuing up to date me.‘

‘Queuing up, are they?’ Kay fumed as she switched stations.
