The overall feel of the room was warm but intensely male. Wow! I wandered to the back of the house following soft blue LED lights inserted low in the wall and was again surprised by the kitchen. It bore no resemblance in either size or décor to the one I remembered. Like the rest of the house, it was stunning, if a little plain for my taste. I felt a pot plant or two might not go amiss, but decided to keep my opinion to myself when I caught sight of Robbie sitting at a table in the corner of the room. The only lights on in here were the ones under the units, but I could just about make out his features and it didn’t look promising. ‘Are you hungry?’ ‘Um…no.’ I walked over to the sink with the empty cup I’d brought from the bathroom, glad the silky, paisley patterned dressing gown was big enough to almost wrap around me twice. I was intensely aware that Robbie knew I was naked underneath. Robbie picked up a bottle of brandy from the table in front of him. ‘Drink?’ he asked. I shook my head and he sighed.
