Chapter 40

‘I’m worried about Floz,’ said Juliet that evening. She was cuddled up to Steve on the sofa and Floz was having yet another early night.

‘Have you ever considered that she might be tired and that’s why she’s having early nights?’ said Steve, weaving a hank of her black hair around his fingers.

‘Well, considering she’s having so many early nights, she looks shit for them. Her eyes tell me she isn’t sleeping well. And you’re right – she’s losing weight.’

And that wasn’t all. Juliet didn’t say it aloud because it would have felt the wrong side of gossipy to say that Floz no longer waited to have her first glass of wine with Juliet in the evening. She had usually had one – or maybe two – by the time Juliet got in.

‘Have you asked her if anything’s wrong?’

‘Course I have. She said there isn’t, but there quite obviously is.’

‘She’s just much more of a private person than you,’ said Steve, taking a chocolate and putting it between Juliet’s lips because he knew it was her favourite flavour. ‘Not everyone wants to talk if something is wrong.’

‘Something is wrong – I know it and I will get to the bottom of it,’ said Juliet. ‘One way or another. Anyway, are we having sex tonight?’

‘If you like,’ said Steve.

‘Don’t be too enthusiastic, will you?’ tutted Juliet, pulling away from him, but his arm looped around her and reeled her towards him.

‘I’d love to have sex with you. But I’m equally as happy lying here like this,’ he clarified.

‘Good, that’s settled. We’ll lie here for a bit and then have sex. Then we’ll both be happy.’

It was an added bonus to be having sex that night because Juliet’s regular-as-clockwork period hadn’t happened today as it should have. She wasn’t that worried – it was only a day late. So far.
