Q. I’m on a bus heading towards my old secondary school. I meet the wife of an old friend whom I haven’t seen in years. She looks sad and hands me a thin bunch of flowers. She tells me she and her husband aren’t getting on, that he believes she’s having an affair, which isn’t true. He’s become withdrawn and angry, she says. I’m surprised to hear this as I always believed they’d a rock-solid marriage. 

Next, we’re about to go into a concert hall but decide to sit outside and finish our conversation. I see the manager of the event and joke with him about the neck chain he’s wearing with four small metal-printed images of himself.
