The sun is already up when I wake up. I glance at the wall clock and it's a few minutes to ten. I climb lazily out of bed and take a shower. Lisa is seated on the kitchen counter staring into space, and she looks at me up and down when I walk in.
"I didn't hear you come in last night."
"You were already asleep and I didn't want to wake you up." I reply as I help myself to tea and buttered toast.
"He didn't try anything stupid, did he?"
"What? No. He's decent enough, Lisa. He's not a monster!"
"You're defending him. You don't even know him! Be careful, okay?"
I have enough sense not to pick a fight with a 'pregnant' woman so I shrug and say "yeah, sure."
I lean on the side of the counter as I take my breakfast.
"About what Harry said yesterday..." I start to say but she cuts me off
