What am I supposed to think?’ ‘You didn’t catch me, I was having a lunch-break and happened to see Matthew. What’s wrong with that?’ ‘It didn’t appear to be an accidental meeting, not the way you were sitting up close to him.’ ‘For heaven’s sake don’t be so childish. Come on, get out of bed and get us a drink, will you?’ She turned to punch the pillow, wishing it were Timmy’s face. ‘No, I won’t get us a drink!’ He grasped her arm. ‘Tell me what’s going on, Sally, you’re driving me mad. Are you in love with the chap?’ She sat up, feeling a chill across her naked breasts. ‘No I am not!’ she said emphatically. ‘If you want to know the truth I can’t stand the guy.’ ‘Well, then, why were you talking to him like that, heads together as if you’d got secrets to share? I don’t like to be made a fool of, Sally, especially by a yob of a copper.’ Sally fell back and stretched her arms above her head, knowing her breasts were pointing provocatively upwards.
