Working It Out



Helen started every day the exact same way. A strong cup of coffee, two pieces of toast with honey, and the Cryptic Crossword in the paper.

This particular morning, even though her long-term boyfriend Robert had spent the night, she still sat down to her morning routine.

After a moment, Robert emerged from the bedroom. “Morning…”

She glanced up at him. “Morning… Almost done, although this is a very weird one, every answer’s about messages… Last one here… ‘An important question for an Enamel Rhymer’, 5 2 5…”

She looked up slowly, shocked.

“So where’s the ring? I accept regardless…”
