‘So?’ he said. ‘Are you going home, or do you want to come for a drink?’
But Fry was watching the river flow past, her eyes following the water as it came into the town from the hills to the west and headed out again, out beyond the borders of Derbyshire, where it didn’t stop until it finally reached the sea. She had the air of someone experiencing a revelation.
Then Fry looked at him, with a softer expression in her eyes than Cooper had ever seen before. It was a look, almost, of apology.
‘Home, I think,’ she said.
Cooper sighed. ‘Okay, Diane.’
For a moment, Fry stopped in the car park to allow a coachload of tourists to pass.
‘A permanent promotion, then,’ she said. ‘I bet you’re happy, Ben.’
‘It will help,’ said Cooper. ‘The extra money makes a difference. And the security.’
Fry nodded. ‘It will help you plan for the future. You and Liz probably have…well, lots of plans.’
‘Maybe,’ said Cooper.
But Fry was gazing at Edendale as if she was seeing it for the first time. Or perhaps for the last.
‘Well that’s great,’ she said. ‘So you got what you always wanted.’
Cooper watched her get into her car. She had started the engine and was already driving away down West Street, well out of earshot, before he could think of an answer.
‘Did I?’ he said.
