'I'd love to prove you wrong about that,' muttered Tim, with a sigh, but he didn't pursue the subject.

Nevertheless, their conversation had soured the weekend, and although Caroline spent the evening at the flat and later occupied Tim's bed while he slept on the couch in the living room, as he had done many times before, it wasn't the same.

On Sunday morning, Caroline awoke heavy-eyed after only a couple of hours' sleep to find Tim still sleeping soundly on the couch. She washed and dressed quietly, and left the flat without waking him, a brief note of explanation propped beside the couch. It was cowardly, but she didn't think she could face any more recriminations.

It was too early to return to Maitlands, and she walked briskly up the Fulham Road towards the park. She intended to deposit her overnight case at the left luggage office at Paddington station, and then find somewhere to have breakfast. But she had only gone a few yards when a low sleek green car drew alongside her.

Caroline stepped back from the kerb in alarm. It was still very early in the morning, and there were few people about. There was something about the car which was familiar, however, and her eyes widened in amazement when James rolled the nearside window down, and said sharply: 'Get in!'

Caroline halted, looking, nervously about her. 'I - why?'

James thrust the car door open from inside, and levered his long legs across the consol to get out beside her. His dark green suede pants were creased, he was wearing a thick roll-necked sweater, and there was a covering of stubble on his jawline. His eyes were red- rimmed, and there were lines of fatigue around them.

'Get in, Caroline,' he said insistently, his voice low yet betraying a latent note of violence.

'Where have you come from?' she exclaimed, her eyes darting to his, then away again. 'What are you doing here?'
