Later that evening, when they had left and Yuri had finally gone to sleep, James and I were getting ready for dinner with his parents. I was still furious about the bump on Yuri’s poor little head. ‘The little shit! God, James, I nearly hit him. He could have killed Yuri, or knocked him unconscious. Jesus, they should lock him up and throw away the key. I won’t have him near Yuri again.’

‘Come on, darling, calm down. Yuri’s fine. It’s just a bump. Kids are always pushing each other about, and Thomas didn’t mean anything. It was just high spirits.’

I snorted at this lame excuse. ‘He’s a horrible little boy. I told you this weekend was going to be a disaster. Look at poor Yuri’s head.’

‘It’s not a disaster. This was one incident and you saw how pleased Mother and Father were to meet their grandson. They couldn’t have been more doting or generous.’

He was right. They’d been thrilled. ‘Fair enough, they have been wonderful, but I don’t want to see Thomas for the rest of the weekend. I don’t care what you have to do or say to Henry, but he is not to be anywhere near me or Yuri because, I’m telling you, James, I won’t be responsible for my actions.’

‘OK, Tiger. Now, breathe deeply and unclench your jaw. I want my parents to see how motherhood has mellowed you.’

‘Has it?’ I asked.

‘I haven’t noticed a dramatic change so far, but I live in hope.’

‘Oh, shut up,’ I said, laughing. ‘We can’t all be the voice of reason.’
