CHAPTER SIX

WHEN ROB WOKE, the next day, he felt a lot more human. And it was a reasonable time for a Sunday morning, he was relieved to note when he looked at his watch: eight o’clock. He went into the kitchen, intending to make coffee, and saw a note propped against the kettle, with a door key sitting next to it.

On early shift. Hope you’re feeling better. Text me if you need anything. Help yourself to anything you want for breakfast and lunch, and I’ll cook dinner when I get home. Have left you spare door key in case you need to go out. F

She’d been so thoughtful. He wasn’t quite up to going out, but it was good to feel that he had the option and he wasn’t trapped.

But then there was dinner.

He didn’t want Florence to come home after a busy shift and feel obliged to cook for him. He wasn’t going to offer to cook a roast dinner or anything like that himself, because even when he was fully fit he knew his limitations; but he could arrange a delivery. A couple of minutes looking on the internet netted him the information he needed: the local pub did a delivery service, and the menu was excellent.

He texted her.

Sit and read a book, perhaps? He browsed through her shelves. There were a few medical texts and a scattering of classics, mixed in with some modern novels. He knew from the film last night that she liked costume dramas, and when it came to reading she clearly liked historical romances set in Jane Austen’s era. But there was nothing that grabbed his interest.

He looked at the photographs on her mantelpiece. He knew she was close to her family, so he wasn’t surprised to see framed photographs of Florence holding three different babies—he’d guess they were her nieces, and from the way she was dressed up it was fairly obvious that it was their christening days—and as bridesmaid to a woman who looked so like her that she could only be Lexy, Florence’s older sister. There was a graduation photo with Florence’s parents and her sister surrounding her, looking thrilled and proud; an amazingly graceful photo of her sister on stage, wearing a tutu and doing some kind of leap, which he guessed must’ve been taken by the theatre’s
