The story

A recently graduated art school designer at a wallpaper manufacturing company catches the eye of a married middle manager. They begin a workplace affair during their lunchtime breaks but their attempts to find privacy are continually thwarted. The man eventually locates a small hotel where he books a room for just one hour, but feels the need to invent a hugely complicated tale to tell the hotel manageress about a troubled marriage and a wife travelling down from Scarborough for a heart-to-heart.
