CHAPTER SEVEN

Lisa dragged her feet as she followed her aunt into the cottage. There was no way she could avoid a lecture. Flame padded in behind them.

Rose’s cheeks were flushed with anger. ‘You’ve been gone for hours, Lisa. I’ve been frantic, driving around looking for you.’

‘I didn’t realize how late it was,’ Lisa murmured, wondering what all the fuss was about. She was back now, wasn’t she?

‘You should have come back and told me where you were going,’ Rose snapped. ‘You know that I’m responsible for you while you’re here. I thought you were more grown up than this.’

Lisa felt an uncomfortable twinge of guilt. ‘I’m sorry, Aunt Rose. I didn’t think.’ She told her aunt all about almost crashing into John on Fly, then going to the travellers’ site and having tea with Violet Wood.

‘I’m amazed you weren’t hurt when you fell off the bike. And you really should have told me first before going off with someone you’ve just met! But it sounds like you had a good time,’ Rose said more calmly. She flopped down on to the sofa and patted the seat next to her.

Lisa sat near to her aunt and Flame curled up between them. ‘John’s really nice when you get to know him, Aunt Rose. He mended the buckled wheel.’ Oops. She hadn’t meant to mention that.

But Rose didn’t seem to have noticed. She sighed and put her arm around Lisa’s shoulder. ‘No harm’s done. So let’s forget it. But promise me you’ll always tell me where you’re going from now on.’

‘I promise,’ Lisa said, making a cross-my-heart shape with one finger.
