Robin walked home with a happy stomach and a mind in turmoil. Should he go to the COC meeting? Okay, so he was diametrically opposed to all they stood for— Well, not all, he totally thought people should look after vulnerable members of the community; he just didn’t think closing down his place of employment was the way to go about it.

But it’d make Lyddie happy if he went. And he’d see Archie . . .

Then again, he’d also get to meet all the other COC members, any or all of whom might be regular shoppers in Willoughbys’ menswear department and would therefore recognise him as a traitor in their midst. Robin winced, visualising something akin to a scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers with everyone pointing and screaming at him. And he was never letting Azrah talk him into watching old horror films at Halloween again despite her “Come on, don’t be a wuss, they’re rated like UU for Utterly Unscary.”

Of course, the COC members might not recognise him. Robin was used to customers who regularly stopped for a friendly chat in the store, only to blank him completely if they saw him out of context. But could he chance that?

No, there was no way he could go to the meeting. The risk was too great. They’d probably string him up from the nearest lamp post if they recognised him. Or burn him at the stake, and invite the homeless community to come and toast marshmallows. Would Sheppy’s Mum shed a tear for him?

But he’d better give Lyddie a ring and let her know, despite what she’d said. It was only polite. He’d give it a few hours, though. Just to make it vaguely plausible that something might have come up.
