‘You were brilliant,’ Gina told Michelle half an hour later, after everyone had left and Lizzy had at last finished talking Michelle through the corporate mission and statement for Slimmers United.

‘I was rubbish,’ Michelle declared. ‘Thank goodness for Lizzy.’

‘Well, she is very persuasive,’ said Gina.

‘She certainly is,’ Michelle agreed. ‘She just signed me up for a six-week membership.’

‘Brilliant!’ cried Gina. ‘You could do with it.’

‘Thanks,’ muttered Michelle. ‘I really needed to hear that.’

‘You’re welcome.’

‘She blackmailed me, actually. Said she’d only give me a raffle prize if I joined up. She’s pretty hardcore.’

‘Nah,’ said Gina. ‘She’s not really. She just doesn’t mind asking, that’s all. A bit like me.’

‘Funnily enough, I was thinking about that,’ said Michelle. ‘How do you fancy setting up the raffle?’

‘How do I do that?’ asked Gina.

‘Well, you could start by asking companies in the area to donate prizes. I wonder if Dominic in Sales at the factory might help as well. Maybe some of his customers might give us something?’

Gina considered the request.

‘So I just ring lots of people up and ask for free stuff?’

‘Yep, that’s about it.’

‘I can do that. Leave it with me. Sounds like top fun.’

‘Really?’

‘Consider it done.’

‘Thanks, Gina,’ said Michelle. ‘I really appreciate your help, you know.’

‘Look, Michelle, are you okay?’ Gina gently reached out to take her hand. ‘Something’s up. I can tell with you. You’ve got that post-Jane-dying, I’m-not-really-onthis-planet look that I’ve not seen in a while.’

Michelle looked away. The moment had passed. She couldn’t face bringing up the subject of Rob again. She looked back at Gina.

‘Actually, I think I’m just hungry,’ she said.

‘Fat Club does that to me, too. Fish and chips?’

‘I could murder a fish and chips.’

‘Let’s get going, then. There’ll be a queue by now behind all the other starving slimmers.’
