Chapter Twenty-Five

Had a great time @WakeyWakey! #RememberingRainbows was a real hit. @DrRobHaydn @StarPR #PRLife #GoodTImes

‘So, you think it went well?’ Robert grimaced at her in the back of the car, and she wondered whether he was joking.

‘Well, you certainly outlined your points very well,’ Jessica replied. ‘It’s a shame obviously about the other expert …’

‘Do you think she’ll be OK?’

‘I’m sure she will.’ She leant over slightly and patted his arm, thinking of the moment when Meredith had been led sobbing from the studio, still clutching ‘Rosie Pie’.

She’d already had a look on Twitter. Remembering Rainbows was trending. Only it seemed that many of the Tweeters had thought that Meredith – who’d been unable to promote her own work – was part of a collaboration with Robert.

Can’t believe what I’m watching on @ WakeyWakey! Some freaky scientist having a breakdown over a doll #RememberingRainbows

Wow, @WakeyWakey! If that’s embracing happiness, I’d rather be miserable #Remembering Rainbows

Great.

Jessica tried to remind herself that no publicity is bad publicity and that two of her clients had been trending on Twitter in the last couple of weeks. But somehow it didn’t seem like a success.

Loved watching @DrRobHaydn on @WakeyWakey! Embrace your inner child! #RememberingRainbows

she tweeted half-heartedly.

Her phone beeped with a text from her brother: ‘Watched your programme – never laughed so hard in my life!’

‘Yeah, thanks for the support, bro.’

‘Seriously, what do they say – no publicity is bad publicity!’

Why did people always say that? ‘Let’s hope so ’ she replied.

As the car turned into familiar streets she began to long to get home, sling off her work shoes and make the most of an ‘at home’ lunch break. But as they neared the high street, Robert’s hand suddenly gripped her arm. ‘Ask the driver to stop!’ he said, excitedly.

Jessica looked out of the window but couldn’t see anything particularly worth stopping for. A newsagent’s, a fish and chip shop with steamed-up windows, and a charity bookshop. But she avoided suggesting he actually ask the driver himself and leaned forward. ‘Would it be OK to stop here?’ she asked.

Two minutes later they were standing on the pavement, watching the sleek black car drive away. Home for Jessica was still a good fifteen minutes’ walk and as they clearly hadn’t been important enough for the driver to wait for, he’d headed back to the studio, or wherever his next assignment was.

‘What is it?’ she said, turning to Robert and trying to smile. In truth, she was pretty knackered and just wanted to get back for a forbidden full-strength coffee.

‘I just want to show you something,’ he said, gesturing to a small alleyway.

Robert didn’t seem the sort that would want to show her something dodgy in an alleyway, so she persevered, ‘Yes, but show me what?’

‘What I mean by embracing your inner child.’

Oh gawd.

She followed him along the alleyway, dodging around the obligatory fag-ends, broken bottles and dog shit that seem to collect between buildings, and emerged into a small park.

In the corner of the grassed area, there was a tiny fenced-off playground.
