“It’s David Conroy. There’s something we need to discuss. Could we meet?” She’s seen him only once, when she had her first lesson a few days ago, and already he’s phoning her. Paige’s confusion is obvious to Ella who watches with a mixture of fascination and concern, able to hear the male crackle at her friend’s ear. Ella mouths Who? and Paige mimes helplessness. The meeting is fixed for later that week, the tutor hangs up and Paige explains. “But you surely aren’t going to…” “I’m seeing him at the college,” Paige says reassuringly. “He fancies you.” “It’s about the piece I’m meant to be learning, that’s all. He wants me to give him back the score.” “Hasn’t he got one of his own? Can’t you drop it off?” Suspicion comes easily to Ella’s mind. “How old is he?” “I don’t know, pretty old, in his forties.” “This isn’t about music. He arranges extra lessons in college, next thing he’s asking you back to his place for some advanced tuition.”
