It was dark by the time they left the restaurant, and as they walked back along the streets they could hear the sound of loud, gaudy music.

‘Where’s that coming from?’ Alexander asked curiously.

‘Oh, that must be the fairground—it’s right over there in the municipal park,’ Sabrina said. ‘I’d forgotten that it always arrives in time for the half-term school break. Perhaps the warm weather has encouraged them to come earlier this year.’

‘I haven’t visited a fairground for ages,’ Alexander said almost longingly, and Sabrina looked up at him in surprise.

‘I can’t imagine it would be your kind of thing,’ she said.

‘Well, you’re wrong there,’ he said. ‘Let’s go over and take a look…just for a few minutes?’

It didn’t take long to reach it, and Sabrina could see at once that Alexander was like a boy again as they wandered amongst the crowds. The place was buzzing, with all the usual rides at full tilt; the nostalgic smell of the generators filled their nostrils.

‘Fairgrounds have been around for generations,’ Alexander said, drinking in the atmosphere. ‘I hope they never go out of fashion. They’re part of our history.’

At the far end was the ferris wheel. Suddenly Alexander took hold of Sabrina’s hand, pulling her alongside him towards it.

‘Come on, let’s be daredevils.’ He looked down at her. ‘Are you game?’

Sabrina could hardly believe this. Was this her boss here with her, helping her into the seat, securing the safety straps around them both? But she was having fun, she thought to herself, feeling ridiculously childlike. And, noting Alexander’s expression as he gazed out into the night, as the giant machine took them ever onwards and upwards, she knew that he was having fun too.

They reached the highest point, and as the wheel paused briefly to take on more customers, they could see the city’s lights spread out beneath them like a magic carpet of stars. For Sabrina, it seemed an intoxicating moment, and she took a deep breath.

Then, just as they began moving again, a strong breeze caught them unawares, momentarily lifting Sabrina’s dress right up, making her shiver. Immediately, she felt Alexander put his arm around her shoulder and pull her towards him. She instinctively responded, nestling into him, feeling her body ache for something more…

‘I told you you’d need a wrap,’ he shouted above the din of the music, still not letting her go.

‘I didn’t expect to be this far up in the stratosphere!’ she shouted back, trying to pull her skirt down again. But she knew he’d seen her naked thighs, the edge of her underwear, and she bit her lip. This whole day was turning out to be surreal, she thought.

They eventually came back down to earth, and started to stroll back, neither saying much. Alexander looked down at her.

‘Are you OK, Sabrina?’ he asked.

‘I’m fine,’ she assured him at once. But she knew she wasn’t fine at all. Despite having had a fantastic evening, she was full of guilt. She’d been enjoying herself with her boss
