Luckily Joan had been as good as her word and Rose found the door key under the flowerpot just as she had promised. With trembling fingers she inserted it into the door and let herself inside the cottage. Greg stayed just long enough to see that she was safe and then drove away with a scream of tyres that made her wince. Switching on the light, she looked about her, but apart from noticing that Joan's cottage had all the modern comforts that her own lacked, she was too upset to take much notice of her surroundings.

Even now she could not believe that Greg could have made such a fool of her. She felt hurt and angry at the mere thought of the conversation she had overheard between him and Hugh. Yet what might have happened if Hugh hadn't arrived? In the mood she had been in, she might well have ended up making love with Greg and she ought to be grateful that at least she had escaped that final humiliation! Yet strangely even that thought did not bring her the relief it should have done. Although she was boiling with resentment against Greg, some treacherous part of her still yearned for his touch, still wanted to go after him and beg him to explain, beg him to come out with a few more lies that would make it all right for her to go on seeing him. Her

own weakness and foolishness appalled her. I must be more careful in future, she told herself bitterly. I've had a narrow escape and I don't want to go through something like that again. Well, it's not likely, replied another part of her mind wryly. There aren't many men as dangerously attractive as Greg Trelawney...

Rose groaned, set down her suitcases and went to explore the rest of Joan's cottage, feeling rather uncomfortable about poking around somebody else's territory in her absence. Fortunately it didn't take her long to find what was obviously the spare bedroom and dump her possessions there. But what was she going to do now? She didn't want to be a burden to Joan and she would obviously have to do some serious thinking about her plans for the future.

Even when her own cottage was ready, she was by no means sure that she wanted to stay in it now. Not with Greg Trelawney just across the headland in Polperro every weekend! But what could she do? For two pins she would leave Cornwall forever, but her mother was arriving soon and she couldn't just leave her in the lurch. Her tired brain whirled with possible solutions.

Perhaps she should just stay long enough to get her mother established and then move to London and look for a job? Well, there was no use thinking about it any more tonight. The best thing she could do was get into bed, bury her head in the covers and try to forget that she had ever met Greg...

During the next few days Rose tried to bury her turbulent feelings in a flurry of activity on the cottage.
