Washing Day

'Anouk sighed with relief as she hung the final bits of washing on the line. Tonight was her weekly Bingo night but to make this happen, she’d had to clean the house from top to bottom, cook the evening meal (three courses and dessert), walk the dog, collect daughter Thea from nursery and prepare a packed lunch for Pieter, her husband, to take to work the next day. In return, Pieter had generously offered to babysit Thea. However, what Pieter didn’t know was that Anouk was fervently hoping her fancy French frillies would be dry in time because she actually had a tryst planned later with Lucas the baker (he’d been slipping her extra sausage rolls for weeks now) and if things went her way, he’d soon be admiring the slinky smalls up close. Dry, dammit, dry!'
