CHAPTER SIX

HEATHER tried hard to bury the doubts that had sprung up after her shopping trip with Beth. With Litsa ready to leave, they surfaced thick and fast. Just as quickly, she told herself that, yes, she really would address them, but not just yet—not until Theo’s mother had left.

She had half hoped that at some point Litsa would decide to tread on unexplored territory and ask Theo what his intentions were, which might have given Heather an opportunity to gauge the ground, but no such luck. Having counted her blessings in seeing her son involved in a relationship with a woman of whom she approved, Litsa was discreet enough not to venture further with her questioning.

And there was no convenient airport wait during which the conversation might have been broached. She was returning to Greece on the family’s private jet.

Her heart went out to Theo as he quizzed her on her health, asking her repeatedly whether she wanted to return to Greece, whether it might not be an idea to stay on in London for just a short while longer. But Litsa, like so many older people, missed the familiarity of her normal surroundings. She wanted to return to the peace of the Greek countryside and the routine of friends and old family members.

Theo had arranged for someone to come in daily and take care of her, but he was still worried. Heather wanted to reach out and take his hand, just to give him a bit of reassurance, but she was too uncertain as to how this simple gesture might be greeted.

Now, watching as Theo helped his mother out of the car, Heather attempted to convince herself, yet again, that their soaring passion must surely be a pointer to emotions as yet undisclosed. She smiled brightly at Litsa, pleased that she looked so much better than she had a few weeks ago and sorry that she was leaving.

The hug they gave one another was one of genuine warmth.

‘Now, you take good care of my son for me,’ Litsa murmured, and Heather’s eyes flew to meet Theo’s, which were regarding her with some amusement.

‘I think it’s safe to say that I’m capable of taking care of myself, Mama,’ he drawled.

‘Every man needs a woman,’ Litsa said stoutly, in the tone of someone flatly stating a certainty. ‘He may not realise it, but he does. And I am very glad that you have found someone.’ Her voice lowered with gentle pleasure.

Heather, watching Theo’s face closely, was trying to see how those words were affecting him, but if they were at all then he was keeping it to himself.
