Van
We moved home, my family and I.
I hired a van and Ted helped me move the settee and the fridge and other things.
This was before I found out that he was sleeping with my wife.
It was a white Transit van covered with a thin, brown film of dirt.
For a joke I wrote: "I wish my wife was this dirty!" on the side.
I went inside to give the keys back to the landlord and, when I came out again, somebody had written underneath: "she is... but not with you!"
Ted had a big smirk across his face. I should have realised then that something was wrong.
