The summer rolled on endlessly, another week of warm days banging in nails and making big plans, until the weekend rolled in redolent and welcoming, beckoning for them to come and laze around on deckchairs and drink Pimm’s.

‘Robinson.’ Alice shook him gently by the shoulder to wake him. ‘Robinson, wake up.’

He opened one eye and looked at her blearily, then opened them both and squinted at his watch.

‘Alice, it’s barely seven in the morning and it’s Sunday.’ His eyes moved down over her white sun top and denim cut-offs and then back up again to her face. ‘I vote you get undressed again and come back to bed.’

Shaking her head, Alice flung open the Airstream door to let the sunshine in. ‘No can do.’ She picked up a mug of coffee and held it out to him. Robinson scrubbed his hands over his hair and sat up, taking the mug from her, still half asleep.

‘No?’ he said.

Alice perched on the end of the bed, her own coffee cradled in her hands.

‘If this is a holiday romance, there’s something vital that’s missing,’ she said.

Robinson frowned, still too asleep to guess.

‘The sea,’ she said, grinning. ‘I want to take you to the seaside, Robinson.’

The idea had formed in her head after a hushed, late-night pillow conversation as they’d drifted off to sleep the night before. He’d said if she listened hard enough she’d be able to hear the sea, his mouth warm on her ear, and even though she couldn’t hear it, it’d sowed a seed. She wanted to hear the sea, really hear it, with him.

‘The seaside?’ he said. ‘In Borne?’

Alice rolled her eyes. ‘Of course not in Borne,’ she said, finishing the last of her drink. ‘We’re just about as central as we can be here, but we can make the coast in a couple of hours on a good run.’ She glanced at the cool box by the door. ‘I packed us a picnic.’
