The party had gone well and she had enjoyed it, but Hugh’s arrival had unnerved her for a moment. He hadn’t replied to the invitation, and she’d rather hoped he wouldn’t come. She was going along OK with her marriage, even if Edwin was forever in town with his beloved restaurant. She didn’t need Hugh coming here to upset it. Because that’s what he did, whether he knew it or not, awakening feelings inside her she’d rather not have.

That eager look of anticipation on his face had been evident before he’d got anywhere near to her but thankfully he’d taken the hint of her turning away from him and had kept his distance, only coming over to talk to her when she’d been with Edwin. Trouble was, that in itself spoke volumes. But now the party was a fading memory, they were three months into 1960 and Hugh hadn’t come nigh or by since.

What bothered her was that thoughts about him still popped up to unsettle her when she least expected it. She had asked Edwin casually if he’d heard from him but he’d shaken his head.

“You know Hugh,” he said. “All over us one minute, not a peep from him the next. I expect he’ll come by when he needs something. He usually does.”

That last remark sounded bitter, but Helen was only too glad not to hear from Hugh as she tried to put him aside and concentrate on her children instead, as a mother should. They in fact had become her whole life, living away from London as she did.
