We came to a stop.

“You're home, Miss.”

I opened my eyes, thanked the driver and left the cab in a daze.

It wasn't until I got out of the cab that I realized, I'd left everything behind. My jacket, my purse, my case.

He had more than a small reminder of me on his fingers, I was spread across his hallway like a blanket of debris after the storm.

Entering my building, I passed the doorman who raised his head with a good evening and a cheery smile. I managed a hello and tried to smile but my face wouldn't respond. I stepped inside the elevator and pressed the button for the sixth floor. I composed myself, arranging my hair and blouse neatly. I arrived at our penthouse and pressed the buzzer next to our door. A few seconds later Ruth answered it. I hoped she didn't notice my lack of jacket and purse. It was rather unusual for me to arrive home completely empty handed.

“Sorry I'm late,” I gushed. “Client dinner, it overran.”

“No problem Mandy, your dad already explained. And I got Abi ready for bed. So there's nothing to do.”

“Thanks Ruth,” I was so grateful for that. It took quite a lot of effort to wash and dress Abigail and my strength was fading fast.

Ruth put on her sweater, and briefly kissed my cheek.

“See you Monday.”

“Yes, have a lovely weekend.”

“And you.”

She shut the door behind her as I watched her leave.

I couldn't imagine my weekend was going to be lovely, they never were.

I could see my father's bedroom light was on. I needed a quick word of subtle reprove before I resumed my usual position at my sister's side.

I knocked at his door.

“Come in.”

I opened it and went in. He was lying on his bed reading a book.

“How did it go?”

“The will's finished, and we're arranging...”

“No, not the will...you and Mr Shaw... your meal together,” he interrupted impatiently.

“It was okay. He's coming round tomorrow, bringing my car home. We had a few drinks this evening.” I forced myself to sound normal and matter of fact.

“Really? Well done, Amanda...I'm so proud of you.” My heart soared for a second, to hear my father say he was proud of me, but then I realized he wasn't really proud of me at all. He was proud of my possible association with Sebastian. Hardly the same thing.

“We've only had dinner together.”

“Yes, but he invited you, that's a good start and he's quite a catch.”

“I haven't caught him.” Catching Sebastian would be the end of me. I was sure of it. He was a slippery path to heavenly hell.

“Keep trying. Invite him over for dinner. I'll invite Lucy.”

“No! And why are you pushing us together? You don't know what he's like. You've said yourself, you don't know him, you've only just met him.”

“I know his type... stubborn, successful, wealthy, intriguing, well spoken, a brilliant golf player, an overdose of a real man and the perfect one for you...right up your street, darling. Pull out the stops and go for it.
