The Sleepwalker

by Ian Blackwood

“Sorry, you just said you think Nick’s been doing this … this stuff to you cos he’s having an affair?” she asked, incredulous. “Yes, I do,” I replied. “I know it sounds crazy⁠—” “Ellie, it sounds totally crazy! I know you said you suspected him of having an affair, but … wow … I mean, so why are you now sure? What have you found out?” I explained the lies Nick had told about buying a necklace

Shes clearly relaying what Ellie is saying to NICK!

I deleted them both in case Nick asked to check my phone.

Why did she delete them?

Tom?”

Is Tom her ex she lost her virginity to? (edit: I was wrong. I knew it was stinking nick!)
