Chapter 11

The park scene faded and they were back in the kitchen.

Clive stared at Grace. “No! It can’t be true, she would have told me. How do you know anyway?”

Grace still had her hand against her tummy but the fluttering feeling had gone. She said, “I felt it, Laura touched her tummy and I felt it in mine. That would explain the secret smile on her face.”

Clive shook his head. “No, I refuse to believe it. We never kept secrets from each other.”

Grace sat down at the kitchen table and watched Clive as he walked around the kitchen muttering to himself and shaking his head. After a few minutes he said, “If she was pregnant why didn’t she tell me?”

Grace looked at him and kindly said, “She was thinking about you. You’d just got this amazing job and were about to set off on your travels. What would you have done if she’d told you she was pregnant?”

Clive threw his arms up. “I would have given my job up of course! Without hesitation, I would have looked after her and the baby. I’d have married her, I’ve been asking her for years.”

“She put your needs first, is that the kind of thing that she’d do?”

Clive gave a resigned sigh and sat down at the table. “It’s exactly what she’d do. She’d done it many times for her friends and family, put their needs before her own. She seemed to think that she deserved second-best, whatever was left over. If she was pregnant can we find out if she had the baby? Can we go back into the picture?”

“I don’t think so, we can only go into the time frame that you captured. We could look online though, see if there are any Laura Opalsons out there. It’s not a common name, I can’t imagine there would be many.”

“Good idea,” Clive said. He looked around the kitchen. “Have you got a computer, I can’t stand the blasted things, I never could get the hang of them.”

Grace stood up. “My brother has a laptop upstairs, I’ll get it.”

Clive glanced upwards. “Oh, has he got a flat up there? That’s convenient, right above the shop.”

“Something like that,” Grace admitted. She wasn’t going to tell Clive that Frankie was staying in the stock room, despite her repeated requests for him to move in with her. He was so stubborn.

Grace returned to the kitchen with the laptop. She fired it up and then typed in Laura’s name. Two Opalsons came up, one was Laura’s, the other belonged to a man called David. Grace’s scalp prickled as she realised who David Opalson might be. She kept her thoughts to herself and clicked on Laura’s name.

Clive came round to her side. Grace pointed at the screen. “She’s got a website. And it looks like she’s got her own consultancy business. Very impressive. Can you see that photo of her?”

Clive’s eyes seemed to mist over as he studied Laura’s face.

“She’s aged well,” Grace noted.

Clive didn’t speak, he moved closer to the screen as if he wanted to jump in to it.
