Day 71




Chapter Twelve

Sophie Challerton traced the rim of her glass with het index finger.

Pat drained Martini and lemonade and slowly and deliberately put the glass down. “I’m going! I’ve heard enough!”

“Before you make any hasty decision, just look at this.” Sophie pushed a piece of paper across the table but Pat wasn’t staying for any more of this and got to her feet.

“Seriously, look before you decide!” The insistence in her voice made Pat wobble and she sat down again and looked at the paper on the table.

Pat began to feel sick. She felt the colour draining from her face and her eyes felt too big for her head. She looked up at Sophie who was smiling or maybe allowing herself a smirk?

Sophie Challerton went back to tracing the edge of her glass. Got her. Hook, line and sinker.
