Chapter Eighteen

Tamsin looked in the mirror and threaded her fingers through her hair. She’d had her first really busy day at the club, teaching five hours back-to-back in the afternoon. Perhaps she should have picked another evening to have Diane over for dinner again, but the sensation she got in the pit of her stomach when she thought of Diane told her: no, tonight would do just fine.

She gave herself an encouraging smile, smoothed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and nodded at herself. Eve’s pep talk before she’d left on Sunday evening still lingered. “Flirt with her,” her sister had said. “And see what happens. From what I’ve seen, Diane will be very receptive. The woman was practically speechless—stunned by your fine Foxley form—when we ran into her.”

Tamsin had been forced to agree. Diane had behaved a little bizarrely. It reminded her of the other day in her hallway, when, kind of out of the blue, Diane had turned around and kissed her on the cheek.

The bell rang and Tamsin straightened her spine. Bramble was at the front door before she reached it, her tail wagging enthusiastically—expressing perfectly how Tamsin was feeling inside.

Tamsin ushered Diane in and they exchanged quick kisses on the cheek.

“Did you know the village next to Tynebury has a gin distillery? Not one of those new hipster ones, but one that’s been there forever.” She presented Tamsin with a bottle. “I brought you a sampling of their finest.”

“You really shouldn’t have.” Tamsin took the bottle and, as she did, her finger slid against Diane’s for a split second.

“Well, I wasn’t going to arrive empty-handed, was I? You’re a client.” She sent Tamsin a smile. “And you know my hourly rate.”

As they walked into the living room, Tamsin secretly hoped she was a little more than a client. The way Diane had just smiled at her, she figured she most likely was.
