As she typed it out she wished she had a lover, a man to pour it all out to in bed, but there was no one around at the moment. Her own fault, no doubt.

Might do so anyway since anything connected with Stella made him anxious. Quite right too, Stella was exciting, a compelling actress, but … and there was a but, she could be a flaming nuisance. But it was not primarily Stella about whom Phoebe thought she must consult the Chief Commander, although naturally she came into it (whenever was Stella out of anything?). Phoebe allowed herself this touch of asperity which she recognised was just jealousy. (Jealous of Stella? she asked herself severely, goodness knows. Well, envious maybe.) There were other things on Phoebe’s mind. She sat looking at what she had typed, then walked away from it. Perhaps she should not deliver it just yet. Looked at coldly, it was just full of vague disquiet.
