  Thankfully she had a smile on her face so I was relatively safe... “Babe,” she sniffed the air, “You made lasagne.” She leaned in and kissed me and I breathed in the scent of her. She always smelled so damned good. I fucking loved Chanel...

  “Have a good day?” I asked as I popped my masterpiece in the oven and set the time. Grabbing a couple of glasses from the cupboard I poured us a red wine each and then followed her into the lounge.

  She shrugged, “Busy – but it was good – we’ve acquired a new partner – so things are gonna be crazy-busy for a while but it’ll really put us on the map....”

  I nodded and smiled in all the right places, but my mind kept on drifting back to Horatio. His smile – it was so genuine and so damned friendly. He really didn’t seem to have a hidden agenda – so refreshing.

  I found myself wondering what he was doing now. Did he have a girlfriend or did he live alone – or with parents? I sighed, suddenly wishing that I was single and still at home with Dad... I missed him. I needed to call him...

  “Are you even listening to me?” Mara’s voice cut into my daydreaming sharply.

  “Uh?” I blinked. Fuck. I really had missed most of what she’d just been talking about. “Sorry – I’m just a bit tired...”

  She snorted, “Fuck off.” She said derisively, “Like playing football and throwing together a lasagne’s anything like what I have to do every day.” She was glaring at me.

  I swallowed, “I said I was sorry.”

  Her lip curled, “I’m going to have a bath.”

  “But your dinner...”

  “I’ll have it later,” She snapped, “It’s not as if it’s going to ruin.”

  I swallowed hard. No, it wouldn’t ruin. It was just shitty lasagne, after all. Nothing special...

  I flicked the TV on and sat back, my good mood from earlier disappearing along with hers. Fuck. Talk about a fun-sponge. She was damned near impossible to please...

  About the Author

  I live in Nottingham, England with my lovely, long suffering and incredibly patient husband and my two beautiful daughters. We also have two cats that we adopted from the RSPCA, Bella and Romeo... and we have the beautiful Enzo, our Border Terrier...

  When I’m not looking after a wayward dog – I’m generally writing a book, any spare time I get between these two pursuits, you can either find me curled up with a good book that someone else wrote and a cat or a dog on my knee in place of the laptop, or I’ll be pottering about in the greenhouse, whilst plotting my next storyline in my head, muttering to myself like a crazy woman.... It’s not easy living with all the voices of my characters in my head!
