I attempted to finish the vacation work I had intended to finish last night, before Sarah arrived. In this attempt, I was unsuccessful.   I gave Chris a message (possibly even an ultimatum) from Sarah, namely 'You're a bastard, I don't want to marry you so stop worrying about commitment and if you don't come round tonight, you're dumped', or words to that effect. I had to preface the message with lots of 'I'm not pestering' and 'She asked me to give you this message' to try to prevent him getting the impression that I was hounding him.   Sarah had also left him a message to a similar tune on a Post-It note on his door. This had caused Mark some confusion this morning since (Post-It note adhesive being what it is) it had fallen from Chris' door and onto the floor in front of Mark's door. Thus Mark spent a minute or two puzzling over (a) which person thought he was a bastard and didn't want to marry him and (b) exactly how he could be dumped from a relationship he had no knowledge of being in.   Chris went over to Sarah's at about 8.30 pm and returned at about 9.30 pm. The reconciliation did not seem to have gone well.
