She thought about all the beginnings she'd had in this flat: the first morning and the wrong tea and the stiff lock and the fixed lock and the first cup he'd brought from two streets over and the photograph going on the shelf and the second bookshelf and the academic project that was now properly started and the six o'clock club on a Wednesday.
