Why had he gone back to Felicity when by all accounts the old trout had made his life a misery by being the ultimate high-maintenance girlfriend?‘Alice,’ he’d said, ‘you’re such a relief after her.’Relief.At the time she’d been too caught up in the first flush of a new relationship to be anything but flattered.
