It is 7 'o clock in the evening. Mom and dad are watching the day's news from the living room. I casually walk across the room to the front door, my mobile phone hidden well in my pyjamas.
"Where are you going?" Mom starts. I shrug.
"Just for a walk in the terrace."
Before either of them could get curious, I make for the stairs. From up there in the dark, I fish out my phone and make a call. No, not to my boyfriend. But to my best friend. The information to be conveyed was confidential and couldn't risk being shared from the bedroom. She picks up the call from the other end and I know that she's moved over to her own private location.
"What's up?" she asks.
"I don't know what to do." I say desperately. She laughs.
"Okay. Tell me what he said this time."
