Chapter Five
I loved Mondays. That was why I named the dog after the first day of the week. If I wasn't working, I’d go to aerobics and do a series of errands. I’d return home for a late lunch and save the grocery shopping for last. That way I had time to fix my makeup or adjust my wardrobe before I saw Alain.
Sometimes, I changed clothes three or four times before I encountered the Boy Wonder. One sweater seemed too tight and made me look fat. Another was a bad colour, emphasizing my pale complexion. He must think that I had an extensive wardrobe because I never wore the same outfit twice in a row. Although I had difficulty remembering what someone said to me 30 minutes ago, I could always recall precisely what I wore the last time that I saw Alain.
I usually arrived at the store during Alain's afternoon break. We would talk for 15 or 20 minutes outside while he smoked and devoured a large Coke. When his time was up, we would go back into the store and I’d choose my meat.
