He sent his mind in search of me that morning. I was on the Tube, a half a minute out of Holland Park and in that muzzy not-awake-yet state that always bridged the time between my breakfast cup of coffee and the one that I’d have shortly at my desk.

In fact, from what I saw of where he was – the angle of the ceiling and the dimly shadowed walls – I guessed that he was likely still in bed, just waking up himself. I didn’t need to push him out. Already he was drawing back, apologising. Sorry. Not a spoken word, but still I heard the faint regretful tone of his familiar voice. And then he wasn’t there.
