Written by E. Fairbank and brought to life with delicate detail by Carlos Freixas, the story captures a single evening of misunderstanding, misjudgment, and the fragile hope of reconciliation—all unfolding under the watchful gaze of a clock tower and the flutter of a hastily written letter. The cover by Carlos Freixas perfectly frames the tension, hinting at the drama to come without revealing a single word of the outcome.

When Maureen sees Phil in a car with a blonde, the factory girls tease her about it. She is thinking about the blonde that evening as she waits for Phil at the clock tower. When he is already fifteen minutes late, she sees the factory girls approaching and, not wanting to answer any awkward questions, she leaves. After sending Phil a letter with angry words, she reads in the newspaper that he was just giving the blonde a lift to a charity event because her car had broken down. She hopes she can reach him before he has a chance to read the letter.
