1. In your bed, as you wake up in the morning and notice the first light of dawn falling softly beside you on your pillow, like the lover you have never known.
2. Birmingham.
3. In your bathroom, as you brush your teeth, and lean slowly to rest your forehead upon the mirror.
4. Collapsed in the corridor.
5. In a ball under the kitchen table.
6. In front of the open fridge, with one arm reaching inside, behind the old milk, for two-day-old pizza.
7. Underwater.
8. While spooning a scrunched-up duvet, anywhere.
9. Next to the thermostat.
10. Behind the curtains.
11. A motorway services station.
12. In a pile of old shoes, in the closet, after you have stubbed your toe and fallen.

13. Looking out of a window at a garden.
14. Looking though the window into your neighbour's bedroom, where she lies in the arms of her muscular husband, reading a Kindle.
15. A children's playground.
16. Wherever you usually go to buy stamps.
17. On the toilet, after you have finished your business, but before you have gathered the strength to get up.
18. France.
19. In an uncomfortable chair.
20. In the cheese section of the supermarket, next to a preganant woman who is laughing.
21. In a beautiful public library, as you run your fingers along the spines of encyclopedias bound in leather.
22. At your step-brother's wedding, sitting quite far up in the ceremony, even though you don't know him very well.
23. In an old man pub.
24. In a gastropub.
25. In a regular pub.
26. Two-thirds of the way up a muddy hill.
27. In the window seat of a plane, your view of ancient glaciers mostly obscured by the wing.
