Second Chance
“He’s standing where he always stands, as reliable and discreet as ever, and Saffron has long got over the discomfort of Samuel knowing that she is the mistress. She is quite sure that she is not the first, and she tries not to think about whether she will be the last or whether, as she is hoping, P will eventually leave his wife and be where he belongs. With her.
Heads turn as she strides behind Samuel to the car park. A few Brits recognize her, but it is more likely that they are looking b...ecause she is beautiful. Beautiful and clever, but not so clever that she knew not to get involved with a married man. Not so clever that she was able to resist the demons that even now are hovering just above her shoulder.
Saffron was six years old when she met Holly. She was the new girl in school – a tiny, pretty blonde thing who walked into Miss Simpson’s classroom with a confidence and assurance immediately envied by Holly.
They didn’t become friends.MoreLess
