Chapter 15

Mo hadn’t consciously been avoiding the village but since that afternoon, almost a week ago now, when Ashley had walked away from the yard she hadn’t felt much like company. Working with horses meant it was easy for Mo to throw herself into her chores until she nearly passed out with exhaustion. Anything was better than thinking. She focused all her energy on her riding and took her misery out on forking up straw or ripping out clumps of ragwort. If Mr Dandy’s mane was cried into on a regular basis and Splash was practically on suicide watch after a few days of listening to Mo sobbing out her woes then nobody else was any the wiser. Horses, Mo knew from years of experience, were great listeners and even better at keeping secrets.

There was no point trying to figure out what on earth had happened with Ashley. After several days spent staring at the blank screen of her phone and willing him to call, she’d come to the sad conclusion that he really had meant what he’d said: he wouldn’t be seeing her again. He’d returned to London and maybe he wouldn’t come back. If he did, he’d made it more than clear that she wouldn’t feature in his plans. It was horrific just how upset she was by this, and not just because she had two of his horses in her care either. No. It was worse than that. Used to being alone and fiercely independent, Mo was terrified by how easily Ashley Carstairs had managed to sneak into her heart.

The notion of never kissing him again was as painful as though somebody had wrapped electric fencing tape around her heart and then flicked the energiser switch to full power. Mo wanted to howl. She hated Ashley. He was everything she most despised, wasn’t he? She’d spent most of the time he’d lived at Polwenna Bay fighting with him and trying her hardest to thwart all the changes he wanted to make to Mariners’ View. She loathed his fuel-guzzling boat, his designer bling and his addiction to cars that looked like phallic symbols. He stood for everything she detested.

So why was he her first thought in the morning and her last thought before her exhausted head hit the pillow?

Summer had phoned Mo several times and invited her to Seaspray, where Summer was living now that she was together with Jake Tremaine. But Mo had pleaded work, successfully avoiding her family, who would all have known as soon as they laid eyes on her that something was very wrong. Luckily it was the height of the holiday season, which meant that all her nearest and dearest were flat out. Even Granny Alice was too busy writing something on the family laptop to be worried about Mo. Yesterday Issie had delivered a copy of the St Wenn’s charity calendar, but in true Issie style this had been a flying visit on her way to a party in Newquay. She’d practically
