She felt she was experiencing happiness at last. Terry was a vigorous but tender lover and he told her that she was beautiful, that he was crazy about her, that he had never been happier himself. She still felt guilty about sleeping with him in his mother’s bed. While his was nothing like so roomy, she felt happier there and the narrow divan was an excuse to cling close together. She was careful to launder Jane’s sheets and neatly make up her bed again, so everything was in order. Although Terry’s room was at the furthest end of the landing from his sisters’ rooms, Claire was tortured by fears that Sheena or Ruthie would surprise them in bed together, and made a point of getting up early each morning and returning to her own room, to be there when Ruthie awoke. Terry felt that Claire was making too much of it, but when he saw how upset she was, he agreed to keep their lovemaking concealed, in so far as they were able, from his sisters. Claire realised very soon, however, that Sheena knew what was going on.
