CHAPTER SIX

True to her resolution, Jen rose early the next morning. Karen was still fast asleep in the other bed, her long hair snaking over the pillow, her face buried in a corner of the duvet. Jen tiptoed into the bathroom, anxious not to disturb her.

She had intended to take only a brief shower, but could not help lingering under the drenching warmth. At last she reluctantly decided she had had enough. She stepped out of the cubicle, swathed herself in the big fluffy white bath-towel she had brought with her from home, and proceeded to brush her teeth.

When she emerged into the bedroom again, Karen was awake.

"It can't possibly be morning yet," she grumbled. "I haven't finished sleeping."

"You're allowed to carry on, you know," Jen said. "No one's stopping you."

"No." Karen yawned. "What's the shower like?"

"Wonderful."

"I'll give it a go, then."

She seemed in no hurry to get up, however, and Jen left her still wrapped up in the duvet, protesting drowsily that she would be downstairs in a minute or two, honestly.

"Whenever," Jen said, smiling. "We won't start without you."

She walked quietly along the corridor and down the staircase. The house was completely silent: no one else seemed to be up yet. At the living room door she paused, trying to remember if they had cleared away everything the previous night. She thought so, but was not altogether certain. She opened the door and peeked in. Yes, all was neat and tidy. Only the musical instruments still leaning against the various items of furniture, and the grey ashes on the hearth, remained.

The kitchen was surprisingly tidy, too, she found as she entered it. There were two empty wine bottles beside the sink, and the bin lid was jammed open by beer cans, but other than that there were few traces of the previous evening.

She opened the dishwasher cautiously, having little experience of such modern technological wonders, but it yielded nothing except a gleaming collection of clean dishes. Still moving with the wariness of a hunter in the forest, she began to pick out one item after another and putting them on the worktop.

She soon found that water had collected here and there, tipping out inopportunely over her feet. Luckily she was simply dressed, having reverted to the white cotton blouse and blue jeans that she always thought of as her "work clothes" these days, and black cotton socks which could easily be hung on a radiator to dry later on.

There was a tea towel on a hook near the sink, and she seized it gratefully and began to wipe the dishes. Some kitchen roll took care of the wet floor. Then she systematically worked her way through the cupboards until all the dishes had been put away in what she deduced must be the correct places.

Right. Bowls, glasses, mugs, and cutlery. Seven sets of everything were soon on the table. Cereal. Bread. Orange juice. Butter. Marmalade. Milk.

She was impressed. Stuart -- or Cathy, perhaps? -- had supplied enough of every staple breakfast fare to feed a small army.
