    night, although a sleepless Chris waited anxiously for the door to his mum’s bedroom to open. The tension between his mum and Pam seemed to grow. An icy blast took hold of any room they were in at any time that Chris saw them together. And these were the only times that Chris ever saw Pam nowadays. Lottie could sense it, too. His only nocturnal visitor now was his sister who entered his room and sat with him. The both of them were strangely silent and unable to express more than the most desultory words, but glad of each other’s company, while overhearing the most ferocious row going on in his mum’s room. A row in which Chris was sure he heard not only Pam, but his mum, shout those words he still thought were only right in a movie or said in the pub when you were really drunk. And the shouting went on and on, interspersed with quieter spells in which Chris could hear the distinct sound of choked sobs. That was the last night his mum and Pam spent together. In fact, Chris never saw Pam again at all. She wasn’t there at breakfast and when he got home from school she had moved out altogether. The house was strangely empty now. Emptier than it had been at any time since Dad had left. And Chris’ mum was just as distraught and moody as she had been on that earlier ...
    occasion. Perhaps Chris should have known what it would be like. After all, he had lived through a similar period before. But this time, it was somehow worse. Especially as he became aware that his mum no longer treated him with quite the same indulgence as before. Nothing he could do these days was right. And sometimes his mum would just burst into tears when he came into the same room as her. “How could you?” she said one evening, her tear-smeared eyes glaring at Chris accusingly across the kitchen from the stool where she sat. “My own son! What have I ever done to deserve it?” “What, Mum?” “How could you?” “How could I what?” His mum looked at him accusingly. And then she cracked into huge sobs that shuddered and shook her body until such time that a confused Chris took the only release available to him, his own eyes beginning to fill with tears. He ran off to his bedroom to put a Nirvana CD on his stereo and to sit on the edge of his bed staring into space, barely able to focus on his own image in the dressing table mirror that had once reflected both his and Pam's naked bodies. At least, however, he reflected as he struggled to remember just what Pam had looked like in that reflection, he wasn’t a virgin anymore. That was one thing to be pleased about.
