She came alert with a jolt, her head whipping around to find Nick. He wasn’t with her. Then she realised this wasn’t the sleep-out on the veranda. She was back in her own bedroom. Alone. “Are you awake, Merry?” Kimberly’s voice! Awake and stark naked! If Kimberly took it in her head to come in... Meredith’s agitated gaze finally fell on the nightie and briefs lying across the foot of the bed. She snatched them up and quickly pulled the nightie over her head, struggling to get her arms into the holes. “Yes?” she called, shoving her briefs under the pillow. “Uncle Nick said if we’re to buy a decent Christmas tree, we’d better get moving or the best ones will all be sold.” Nick was up and about! What time was it? She checked her watch. Five to nine. Shock galvanised her into action. She threw off the bedclothes and raced to the wardrobe. “Sorry I overslept, Kimberly. I’ll be right out. Is the bathroom free?” “Yes. We’re all ready.” Almost nine o’clock.
