A girl so few of friends in a strange land after four years, though she has tried incredibly hard to make them, sitting at home, alone. It is the night before a bank holiday. She will soon lose this job (like everybody!) that she hates, but then she doesn’t know what she will do. Her fiance has taken one of the two dogs and gone to another country to climb for a long weekend. She has nobody to talk to and nothing to do between his calls. So she has rented three movies of which she has already watched two, mostly. She wishes the dog would come to her from the couch, lay warm and loving against her legs. Mostly, she is pressing the reload icon on her computer over and over again, wishing there was somebody out there, listening, caring, maybe even wanting (just a little bit?) to tell her they are there.
