Amber was behind the counter when I walked into the tea room. She saw me, and her face lit up.

“Jill! How are you?”

“Ticking along. I see you’ve dyed your hair again.” It was black—the last time I’d seen her, she’d been blonde.

“We aren’t talking about that.” She scowled.

“We aren’t? Don’t you like it?”

“I liked it perfectly fine until—.” Her gaze shifted to the table in the far corner of the tea room. “Until she did that.”

I’d assumed Pearl must be in the cake shop. I hadn’t noticed her in the corner, sitting with another woman. And the reason I hadn’t noticed her? Because she too had dyed her hair—black.

“She did it on purpose.” Amber’s voice was much louder now.

Pearl heard her sister, looked up, and saw me. She said a few words to her companion, and then skipped across to join us at the counter.

“Hi, Jill.” Pearl gave me a hug. “What lies is she telling you?”

“I’m only telling the truth.” Amber huffed. “You copied me again.”

“Don’t listen to a word she says. She copied me.”

“That’s rubbish!”

“It so isn’t!”

Oh how I’d missed this. I’d only been in the shop for two minutes, and already the twins were at each other’s throats. Their argument bounced back and forth while I tried to remain neutral.

“I thought of it first!” Amber insisted.

“That’s rubbish. I had mine done first!” Pearl countered.

I was tempted to turn and run for the hills, but I hadn’t come all this way to leave now. I took a deep breath and stepped in between them. “Girls! Please!”

The twins fell silent.

“Thank you.”

“Sorry, Jill,” Pearl said. “It’s her fault.”

“Yours more like.”

“Enough!” I raised my hands. “Can we call a truce at least until I’ve gone? Okay?”

Amber nodded.

“Okay?”

Pearl nodded.

I sighed with relief. “Okay. That’s better. I hope I didn’t drag you away from your friend.” I gestured to the woman who Pearl had been sitting with. The woman, who seemed oblivious to the twins' altercation, was making notes in a small notepad. Even though she was seated, I could see she was incredibly tall. The faux leather cat-suit she was wearing showed off her toned body. She had the look of an Amazon.

“Daze won’t mind.”

“Who?”

“Her name’s Daisy Flowers,” Amber said in a whisper.

“Daisy Flowers?”

The twins both shushed me and glanced over to see if the woman had heard.

“She doesn’t look like a—” I lowered my voice to a whisper. “Daisy Flowers.”

“That’s her real name,” Amber said. “But no one calls her that.”

“Not if they enjoy living.” Pearl grinned.

“What did you call her?” I asked.

“Daze.”

“D A Z E?” I spelled out the name.

The twins nodded.

“Amber, you get us all a drink,” Pearl said. “I’ll introduce Jill to Daze.”

Amber scowled; she didn’t appreciate being given orders by her sister. But at least she didn’t argue this time.

“Are you sure we should join her?” I said. “She looks as though she’s busy.” And very scary.

“Come on. It’ll be cool.”

The woman looked up as we approached—her long black hair framed a beautiful face.

“Daze, this is my cousin, Jill Gooder.
