Hazel could have killed Ollie when Joyce informed them they would work together for the next two days. The kitchen needed a thorough clean. “Not just a dusting and a bit of polish,” Joyce said, “but completely gutting and cleaned from top to toe.” It sounded arduous, and Hazel knew it was a punishment following their stand-off at breakfast the previous day. It confirmed her suspicions when Joyce handed out duties to the others, including gardening or further decorating. But Ollie felt otherwise, and his face lit up. He even allowed a little yelp to escape his mouth. “Alright, calm down, dear,” Joyce quipped, but Ollie appeared oblivious to everybody laughing at him. Until Hazel shot him a look, at least.

“Can you stop fucking whistling?” she said after closing the kitchen door to the outside world. Joyce informed everybody Adrienne would cook a barbecue the next two evenings, so Hazel and Ollie had the room to themselves for forty-eight hours.

“Sorry,” Ollie replied, watching her like a child whilst awaiting his first instructions. Hazel was already beginning to regret selecting Ollie as her confidant.

“It’s okay, but please, calm yourself down. You’ll give us away if you carry on acting like a juvenile.” She couldn’t help but smile to herself when his little face lost all its energy and his mouth turned downwards. His cheeks appeared to sag in unison. Hazel stepped closer, lowered her voice and spoke in a condescending tone, even though she knew Ollie wouldn’t pick up on it. “How are you at sneaking around? I’ll need you to be as quiet as a church mouse.”
