The Reluctant Elf (Kindle Single) - Plot & Excerpts
‘No, I don’t think there’s anything in your eye,’ he says. ‘I can’t see anything.’‘Thanks. Actually it feels better now.’My heart is hammering. ‘Would you like a drink, Rupert?’ I ask.‘No, thank you. I was just checking on when tea would be ready. I’ve got some work to do.’‘Would seven be all right? We’ll serve it in the parlour. I’ve just got to get some headache tablets for Prunella.’I rush from the room, leaving the two men staring each other down.What must Rupert think? They’ve been here less than three hours and I’ve just rounded off an afternoon of bathtub gin and a questionable lunch with a romantic interlude in the arms of his sister’s husband.Unless one of his rating categories includes staff promiscuity, I’ve just put Aunt Kate’s livelihood in jeopardy. ‘Are you okay?’ Danny asks when he returns at six on the dot. ‘You look weird.’Humiliation is coursing through me. I don’t want to tell Danny what happened in the kitchen.
