"What d’you want Ray?" Bodie asked over the intercom, as the drizzle settled into Doyle’s hair and slid itself coldly down his collar.
"Let me up, you berk, it’s wet out here."
"Is it? Why?"
"Bo-die!"
"Thought you were out with what’s-her-name."
"That was hours ago. And you could have come you know. She did..." a large drop splashed its way from his hair to his nose, trickled down his cheek. "Bodie will you let me in and we can argue about it when I’m not drowning?"
"Now, Raymond, I’m sure you’re exaggerating," Bodie sing-songed, but he buzzed the door open at last, and Doyle pushed through and stood in the foyer for a moment, shaking his head and sending spray across the floor tiles and unknowingly into the face of the woman stepping out of the lift. Giving her his best apologetic beam, he started up the stairs two at a time, carrier bags held high, bottles of wine and olive oil clanking.
The door was on the latch, and Doyle went straight through to the kitchen, pulled out a saucepan and filled it with water, and then rummaged for a corkscrew.
"Oh, please, make yourself at home," Bodie said behind him, and Doyle turned to see him leaning against the kitchen door, one elbow on the lintel.

On Christmas morning Bodie had brought wine that demonstrated a recollection of Doyle's preferences and an elaborately wrapped box holding a dark green teeshirt emblazoned with "My Other Car Is A Harley". They'd laughed over it, and Doyle had worn it and wondered how carefully Bodie had chosen the colour that suited him so well.
"Didn't get you anything," Doyle said, but Bodie had discovered the two-pound box of Belgian chocolates casually open on the coffee table.
"These'll do," he said. "Funny. When I was a kid--"
"What?" Doyle asked after a silence in which Bodie stared at the chocolates as though hypnotized.
