At some point during the evening everything went dead quiet. I spent the rest of the day wondering whether the animals had gone, or were they still there? Were they just pretending to be out or were they going to return later on? Every creak and bump put my nerves on edge. I sat there in a state of nervous apprehension.
I slept very badly. The cough is one thing, but I kept waking up with my mind whizzing round, wondering about the upstairs neighbours.
It was all quiet when I got up this morning, and there hasn't been a peep out of them since. I think I can now say with certainty that they have finally gone. I know it will take me some time to adjust to the peace, but I feel like I am on holiday. I've got my flat back at last.
