Danella and Glen and the baby left after lunch the following day. Jade, standing on the terrace beside Magnus to wave them goodbye, felt herself relax slightly as the car swept down the drive. She hadn’t realised until then that she’d been so tense during the visit. But things could have been worse.

She said, as she turned to go inside, “Danella’s very lucky.”

“Because of the baby?”

“And because she has a kind and considerate husband.”

“Glen has a capacity for getting people to like him. Especially women.”

“He’s not a womaniser.”

“I didn’t say that.”

Struck by his curt tone, she asked him, “Are you jealous?”

Magnus shook his head. “Envious, perhaps, of his ability to get on with almost anyone. It’s a rare gift.”

“You have other gifts,” Jade said.

He looked startled. “I won’t ask you to name them.”

“I will if you like.”

Magnus laughed and shook his head, standing back to allow her to precede him inside.

“Do you want me?” she asked him as he joined her, the house seeming dim after the brightness outside.

He stared down at her. “Want you?” he repeated softly, his brows lifting.

“If you’re going to work,” she said, “shall I help?”

“Actually, I thought I’d go for a swim.” After the slightest of pauses he added, “Would you care to join me?”

It was a peculiarly formal invitation, but Jade leapt at it. “I’ll go and get changed.”
