(05:21) (16:21)
Thanks for the
recommendation,
it really is a wonderful place.

(05:22) (16:22)
I knew it would be interesting.
Did you visit any of the caves?

Oh, the last one, it truly is a
thing of beauty.
SH

(05:28) (16:28)
Apparently William de Tracy hid
there after murdering Thomas
Becket.

(05:29) (16:29)
I bet he wasn’t the only one.
SH

(05:31) (16:31)
Now I see why you sent me
here.

(05:32) (16:32)
It was indeed my first
motivation, but the pictures
look beautiful.
SH

(05:33) (16:33)
It was a good call. It’s
gorgeous and I really love it.

(05:35) (16:35)
Where is Sarah this
afternoon?
SH

(05:36) (16:36)
Oh god, it’s afternoon.
Which means it’s the middle
of the night for you. I’m so,
so sorry.

(05:37) (16:37)
It’s fine. I wasn’t sleeping.
SH

(05:38) (16:38)
Still, I shouldn’t have texted
you at this hour.

(05:39) (16:39)
Consider it payback for the
time I woke you up at 4 in
the morning to talk about a
case.
SH

(05:41) (16:41)
So, girlfriend?
SH

(05:42) (16:42)
She had a headache, so she
stayed in the hotel.

(05:43) (16:43)
Are things better between
you two?
SH

(05:45) (16:45)
No. Yes. Maybe. I don’t
know.

(05:45) (16:45)
At least, that was clear.
SH

(05:48) (16:48)
I prefer not to think about
it. When I do, I tend to
change my mind. I’ve
changed my mind 12 times
since we talked about it.
It’s exhausting.

I can see you trying to
distract me with beautiful
panoramas. You don’t have
to do that; if you don’t want
to talk about your
relationship, I won’t mention
it again.
SH

(05:54) (16:54)
Sharing those pictures with
you kind of feels like having
company.

(05:56) (16:56)
Oh. Go ahead, then.

No trip to New Zealand would
would be complete without a
healthy dose of sheep.
SH

(06:01) (17:01)
I would hate to disappoint.

(06:05) (17:05)
How long are you staying?
SH

(06:06) (17:06)
I want to see the sunset
before I return to the hotel.

(06:09) (17:09)
How trite.
SH

(06:11) (17:11)
I meant when are you going
back to London?
SH

(06:11) (17:11)
April 30th.

(06:12) (17:12)
Do you have a case? Is it
why you weren’t sleeping?

(06:16) (17:16)
No, I just couldn’t sleep.
SH

(06:17) (17:17)
Are you falling asleep now?
Is that why you’re taking
so long to reply?

(06:22) (17:22)
Maybe.
SH

(06:23) (17:23)
It was the sheep, wasn’t it?

(06:26) (17:26)
Probably.
SH

(06:28) (17:28)
Haha, I’m sorry I texted you
this early, have a nice night
(what’s left of it).

(06:35) (17:35)
Goodnight John.

April 29th
(10:46) (21:46)
I believe I have just solved
the most idiotic case of my
entire career.
SH

(10:50) (21:50)
This is John’s girlfriend.
John is in the shower at the
moment, can I give him a
message.

(10:50) (21:50)
No.
SH


May 1st
(16:22)
Sarah and I broke up.

(16:25)
Oh. Did you initiate it?
SH

(16:25)
She did.

(16:25)
Why?
SH

(16:27)
A few days ago, you texted
me to say you had solved
the stupidest case of your
career. Sarah answered.

(16:27)
Yes, I remember.
SH

(16:27)
She read our text history.
SH

(16:28)
She did.

(16:30)
She confronted me in the
plane, said she was
looking to settle down with
someone serious, and that
she was too old to wait
around for me to figure out
what I want.

(16:31)
I suppose you decided that
what you want isn’t what
you two had?
SH

(16:33)
I was still on the fence, but
I think breaking up was the
right thing to do, especially
after she read all those texts.
I was a complete bastard.
