CHAPTER TEN

SYLVIE’S HUSBAND WAS in one of the cars that arrived and the family was ferried down to the motorway together. Cass had disappeared, and Jack saw her waiting on the other side of the water with her SUV. She dropped the keys into Jack’s hand and told him she’d meet him at the hospital and Jack helped Sylvie into the front seat, the rest of the family squeezing into the back.

He drove away, leaving her standing alone on the road. There wasn’t any point in wondering exactly how she was going to get to the hospital. She’d said she’d be there, and Jack had little doubt that she would.

She arrived, pink-cheeked, nearly an hour later and sat down next to him on one of the waiting room chairs.

‘Hey.’

‘Hey yourself.’ He wasn’t going to ask.

‘Everything all right?’

‘Fine. They’re being seen now.’ Jack reached into his pocket and took out her car keys. ‘Blue.’

‘Blue?’

‘When Sylvie was called in I nipped out and put your car through the car wash around the corner. Just in case you happened to be looking for it, it’s blue.’

She gave him a sweet smile, refusing to rise to the bait. ‘I’ll bear that in mind. Thanks.’

They sat in silence for a few minutes. Cass took off her coat and dropped it on the chair next to her.

‘You could at least ask.’

Jack smirked. He’d been determined that she would be the first to break. ‘All right. How did you get here?’

‘I walked for about a mile and then I hitched a lift. On the mobility bus.’

Jack snorted with laughter. ‘The mobility bus? Didn’t they want to see your pensioner’s card before they let you on?’

‘No, they did not. I showed the firefighter’s ID card I have for home safety checks and cadged a lift.’

‘And said you were on your way to a fire?’ This was the first opportunity he’d had to sit and talk alone with Cass since they’d kissed. It felt almost as if he’d been holding his breath, waiting for this moment.

‘Very funny. Next time you have a fire, don’t expect me to put it out.’ She turned her head away from him and Jack saw that she was blushing furiously at her own gaffe.

‘I can put out my own fires, thank you.’ Something about the delicate pink of her pale skin just wouldn’t allow him to let this go. That, and the thought of letting her put out the delicious fire that her kiss had ignited.

She turned, grinning at him, and Jack suddenly wondered what he’d just got himself into. ‘You’re no fun, are you?’

That smile. Those dark eyes, full of all the things that might have been last night. She hadn’t stopped thinking about it. It had been running at the back of her mind, like a piece of music playing over and over on the radio. Unnoticed for most of the time, but still there.

Maybe she should just get a grip. Put Jack away in a box, lined
