CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Watching Tony wander into the kitchen in his pyjamas, yawning, I fidgeted, eager to do something.

'Good morning!' I said, brightly, pouring him a cup of coffee.

'Morning,' he mumbled, still half asleep. 'Thanks.'

'I guess you're not quite awake yet?'

He shook his head with a partial grin while taking a long sip.

'Tell you what, I’ll go and have a walk across the Common. Where’s the nearest shop? I could stop and get some fresh bread or croissants for breakfast?'

Running across the road to the lush green Wimbledon Common, I was saddened not to see any Wombles, but I did see rather a lot of dog walkers and joggers doing a bit of exercise.

It was a bright and fresh morning, perfect for a short amble, and I felt thoroughly refreshed after half an hour’s walk. It was strange that I was out walking in an area I'd never visited and yet I felt so happy and independent. So... at home.

As my mind wondered what it would be like to live in that lovely little enclave in Wimbledon, I crossed back and headed down to the local shop to buy some goodies for breakfast.

On my return to the apartment complex, I was in for a surprise. As I waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor, the doors finally opened and I found myself face to face with singer and actress Tiffany Chantelle.

'Oh, excuse me,' I stuttered as I very nearly walked straight into her, as she tried to hide behind her rather large sunglasses.

She smiled but said nothing. Instead she made as quick an exit as she could out into the car park and, I noted, into her brand spanking new red Mini Cooper S.

As the elevator reached the top floor and I virtually ran into Tony and Zara’s place, I yelled out, 'Oh. My. God! You’ll never guess who I’ve just seen!'

Laughing, the couple appeared from the bedroom at the same time, Zara brushing her long hair and Tony trying to put a pair of socks on.

'That wouldn’t be Tiffany Chantelle, by any chance?'

'How do you do that? You always know what I’m thinking?' I gasped.

'Erm, Tiffany is our neighbour, Kate. She moved in last year. She’s really quite pleasant. Pretty much keeps herself to herself, though.'

'You have a celebrity neighbour and you just neglected to tell me?! I work for a magazine, you know? We have to know these things. I could have taken some photos. Oh my god. I can’t believe it.'

'Kate, I think you should just breathe for a moment.'

I did as I was told and went and sat down at the dining table. Zara took the food from me and I left it to her to prepare breakfast.

Eventually the three of us sat down to a lovely meal of fresh coffee, croissants, American bagels with jam and Portuguese honey, and orange juice.

'I still can’t get over the fact that Tiffany lives here!' I said for about the third time in ten minutes.

'Kate, I think you ought to see this from Tiffany’s point of view.
