The phone vibrated insistently on the table, and Michael glared at it. The message from his online tutor, Olivia, was particularly bright and enthusiastic. He had told her his general location, but he hadn't expected this. He just wanted a quiet afternoon of revision.

He pushed his chair back from the table with a screech, the sound grating on his ears. He wasn't in the mood to be sociable. He needed to prepare for his exam.

He snatched up the phone and typed a curt response, the words sharp and clipped.
