She tackled the latter first. Dora was chattering avidly to Elena, as though nothing had happened, so Georgia took the opportunity to whisper to Peter: ‘You felt it?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Me too.’ She was not able to say anything more as she could see Elena had her eye on her and her intention was obvious. She would want to find out what was going on: why was Georgia feeling sick? Was she pregnant? No, she wasn’t, and Georgia couldn’t bear the thought of being questioned. It was time to find Luke, and quickly. ‘Will you be OK?’ she asked Peter. ‘You mean OK with Elena?’ he queried drily. ‘Yes, Georgia, I will be. We were married for over twenty years. I can manage an hour or two more of her company.’ ‘If it’s only that,’ she replied without thinking. She could have kicked herself, as he looked at her steadily, almost reproachfully. ‘I know there’s something on her mind, Georgia. I suspect she wants to come home.’ Her mouth went dry as the shock bore into her.
