Fay paused by the bus stop. I got off the bus. What you doing here? I said. Wanted to see you, she said. We walked along towards the crossing. What did you want to see me about? I said. We crossed the road. She looked down Meadow Row. I may be leaving, she said. Where? I said. Don't know yet, but Mum is taking me with her when she leaves Dad, she said. What about us? I said. We walked down Meadow Row. I don't know, Benny, she said softly. We were silent and walked to Rockingham Street. When will you go? I said. Can't say, she said, you mustn't tell anyone. I said I would tell no one. We walked up the stairs of the flat. We paused by my balcony. We kissed and she went up the stairs and out of sight like a bright star vanishing at night.
