• STILL

  

  A glorious morning. Clear blue sky, the water still, the grass fresh. It was exactly the sort of scene that had convinced them to buy the house.

• DEFINE OBSTINATE

  

  ‘Is he still out there?’ Frank asked. Agnes turned away from the window, ‘He won’t give in. I did tell him the weather forecast.’ It was admittedly crowded in the house, but it made for a cosy atmosphere for their annual reunion. A howl of wind rattled the windows.

• THE GREAT CHRISTMAS GETAWAY

  

  The Departure Lounge was rammed with people. The sensible ones carried everything essential in backpacks, others insisted on dragging large suitcases behind them, adding to the gridlock. Sea-Tac Airport expected the last weekend before Christmas to be busy – it always was – but even the additional check-in staff and baggage handlers were unable to…
