Meeting a member of the public, no matter how young, brought all sorts of dilemmas for Georgiana. First of all, she’d had to decide if she wanted to make it an official engagement. Which would have entailed informing security, staff and making special arrangements at the clinic.

She’d gone for option B instead. The sneaking-out method.

There had also been the question of what to wear. It wasn’t a diamonds and pearls event where she’d be expected to wear haute couture. No, this was worse. In order to get Hannah to relate to her she had to go with something to show off her prosthetic leg.

It was the thought of Ethan and the effusive thanks they’d received from his parents for helping that sealed her decision. She’d donned her usual casual gym kit that she was comfortable in.

Now she was waiting in Ed’s office to be introduced to Hannah and her parents. As she paced the floor, her pulse was doing the samba, her skin was clammy and she wasn’t altogether steady on her feet. Anyone would think she’d just run a marathon.

To keep herself busy she began to tidy the mess that was supposed to be Ed’s desk. It was a curious insight into the man who’d put all this into motion. The dirty coffee cups lying around suggested someone too busy to be bothered with a trivial thing such as washing up at work.

What struck her most was the lack of personal touches in his workspace. There were no photos of family or items from home she’d expect to have crept into an environment where he spent most of his time.

She no longer thought of Ed as some beach bum who drifted through life. He was devoted to his job and patients if Hannah was any indication. With no obvious signs of his personal life, she wondered if this was because of his dedication to his career or something else. He knew a lot about her and she realised she wanted to find out more about Mr Lawrence beyond the job.

She heard voices in the corridor outside, saw the door handle move and her heart leapt into her throat. This wasn’t a public event and as far as she knew there were no photographers around to capture the moment but she was just as anxious as though she were on the international stage.

Georgiana stood by the window, creating a space between her and the people about to walk into the room.

‘There’s someone I’d like you to meet, Hannah.’ Ed’s voice filtered in first.

Georgiana took a deep breath.

Four more faces entered the room. One familiar and smiling, a little suspicious one and two open-mouthed and staring.

She swallowed down the anxiety threatening to choke her and moved forward with her hand outstretched. ‘Hi, I’m Georgiana.’

The woman with the small child clinging to her like a koala was completely still, her gaze fixed on Georgiana.

Ed stepped forward to break the awkward moment of recognition. ‘Georgiana, this is Hannah and her parents, Phil and Kate Howell.
