The Brilliant Light Of Amber Sunrise - Plot & Excerpts
Lisa and Lindsay appeared not long after dinner with carrier bags full of wine and beer. “Hiya, gorgeous,” they both said, kissing me when they found me in the kitchen. I sat with them for a while. Mum was polite even though I knew she wanted me to go to bed so that she could be debauched. I stuck it out, though, being charming. It was a wise investment. As I made my way upstairs Lindsay downed her third glass of rosé and grabbed me to her bosom. “You look after yourself, love,” she said, not realizing perhaps that if they weren’t so keen on recreating Gin Lane in our conservatory, then Mum might have been in a position to do just that. “And this is from the both of us, for Christmas. Get yourself into town when you’re feeling up to it.” She pressed a fifty-pound note into my fist. Upstairs I folded it in half like an expensive shirt. I’d never seen one in real life before.
