Rhiannon swallowed hard. In other circumstances this might have been her home and her baby, with Bull coming home to her at the end of the working day. ‘Aye, I’ve got time off at last. Mrs Buchan is good to me but she sometimes forgets I need a couple of hours to myself.’ ‘Well, now you’re here sit down and talk to me. I’m going off my head, talking to myself all day.’ ‘I don’t believe you,’ Rhiannon said. ‘You look like the happiest girl alive, and quite right too.’ ‘I am happy, Rhiannon,’ Katie said softly. ‘Bull is a wonderful husband and we are so much in love, and sometimes I can’t believe that all this happiness will last.’ She paused to kiss the baby. ‘Now I’ll put him down for a nap and we can have a nice cup of tea.’ Katie giggled. ‘I’m still not used to being waited on. I feel guilty that I sit around like a lady of leisure while other people clean, cook and do the washing.’ ‘You and Bull have done well, and you both deserve everything you’ve got.’ ‘I won’t be a minute.’ Katie got to her feet.
