‘You have a fabulous daughter,’ Orla told Lloyd Brady as they said their good-byes at the end of the evening. Turning to Judy, who was holding Adele’s pink cashmere wrap while Adele made a production of kissing JD and Moira, she added in an undertone, ‘And you have the patience of a saint.’

‘I do.’ Judy nodded cheerfully. ‘Then again, I also have a secret stash of cyanide.’

Moira Deveraux whispered in her son’s ear, ‘You don’t have to stay here at the house with us, you know. Nobody would mind if you… disappeared.’

Con grinned at the way his mother raised her penciled-in eyebrows delicately in Millie’s direction as she spoke.

‘Mother. I can’t believe you’re even suggesting it.’

‘We’re only down here for one more day.’ Moira tapped her watch. ‘Sometimes, darling, you simply can’t afford to hang around, you just have to go for it.’ Her expression softening, she went on fondly, ‘Your father and I had a whirlwind romance, you know. He swept me right off my feet and we were engaged within a week.’

‘You mean he tried it on with you the first night and got lucky.’ Con looked scandalized. ‘Mum, I’m sorry, but that is disgraceful. I’m deeply, deeply shocked.’

Unperturbed, Moira said serenely, ‘The spark was there. When the spark’s there, you can’t ignore it. And,’ she smiled over at Millie, ‘I saw it there between the two of you tonight.’

‘Okay.’ Con held up his hands in defeat. ‘I already tried it. I said I wanted us to spend the night together and she turned me down. She told me she wasn’t that kind of girl.’

So Millie had standards, morals, a healthy respect for her own body. Happily, Moira said, ‘Now I like her even more.’
