“Mrs Jackson?” the man asked politely.
“Yes.”
“I have a delivery here from a Drake Jackson.”
The man handed them over and took his leave, along with the beaming organiser—her job was done.
Camilla removed the envelope from inside.
“What does it say?” Willow asked.
She cleared her throat and read the card out loud. “To my wife, the love of my life. May your night be incredible…and our trip around the world unforgettable.” She bit into her bottom lip, barely able to take in the heartfelt rhyme. But surely Drake didn’t mean the latter? He was an extremely busy man, his business his whole life. Well, aside from her.
Willow craned her neck. “There’s tickets inside.”
“Oh my God,” she breathed, pulling them out and holding them aloft to properly scan them. So it was true.
Willow gasped. “Wow. Round the world tickets for two.” She looked at Camilla with rounded eyes. “Has Drake been taken over by aliens? Because this is not the man I know.”
Her heart thundering in her chest, Camilla turned away from all the stares and murmured to no one in particular, “I need to put these roses in water. Excuse me for a moment.”
She needed a minute alone. Time in which to absorb this latest surprise from Drake. He’d just put a tick beside one of her biggest dreams. And of course she could re-enrol at university on their return home. And then…in a year or two, maybe she’d seriously reconsider her stance on motherhood.
The smile that curled her lips as she returned to the dinner, and the ladies waiting for her, was genuine and warm. She didn’t need to compare herself to any one of them, didn’t need to compete. They all had their flaws, all had their own insecurities.
Only one thing in life was certain. Love was all that mattered.

Meet the Housewives of Sydney. They are wealthy, elegant, poised, and constantly in the public eye.

Delve into the most personal details of their relationships, their friendships and their lives. The only question is: can you handle the heat?
Darla knows her place at the exclusive Diamond D dinners—she is comic relief, entertaining the rest of the women with tales of her dating woes. Since her divorce, she has been on one bad date after another, and not even a high-class dating agency can help.
But a massive storm front brings a visit from an old neighbour—and suddenly being neighbourly takes on a whole new meaning. When it rains, it pours, and it looks like Darla’s dry spell is about to become a thing of the past.
