Mary glanced down at the map then out the car window.
‘Which exit?’ her husband, Tom, asked as they entered the roundabout.
‘The second…? No, the third….?’ Mary tried to answer.
She consulted at the map but struggled.
Tom carried on going around, trying to hold his tongue. He wasn’t in the mood for another argument about directions.
‘I think it’s the second.’ Mary finally answered.
Tom drove once more around the circle of trees and took the second exit, ‘for Christmas I’d like a Sat Nav,’ he muttered.
