She wasn’t expecting a mansion, so Robert’s house doesn’t disappoint. It’s in good shape and looks taken care of. Not that she would expect any less from him.

Inside is about what she had pictured too: very clean and tidy, but stark. Masculine. A clear absence of a feminine presence.

She supposes that’s a good thing for her. Not that she was worried that Robert’s been entertaining other women in their time apart.

As he goes to collect her bags, she finds herself drawn to the things that give the room personality, such as the pictures on the wall and the souvenirs on the shelves. In one of them, she recognizes a young Robert with an older man and woman. His parents? He didn’t seem keen to introduce Midge to them while she’s here, but maybe he’ll change his mind.
