CHAPTER 22

Four nineteen, if the moonlight didn’t deceive her. The blued steel hands of the miniature carriage clock on the bedside table weren’t very reflective, but they stood out quite well against the white dial.

Door... over there. She slid from under the light coverlet and made for the bathroom, pausing to lower the window blind before passing in front of it. Her head thumped, and she knew she was due to pay for her overindulgence, but even so she felt elated.

The pull cord of the bathroom light clicked alarmingly loudly, and Fin hissed in a breath through clenched teeth. Sitting in a relaxed hunch on the lavatory, she peed what felt like several pints, and on rising she grinned at herself in the mirror as she washed her hands. There was a tube of interesting-looking herbal toothpaste on the basin unit, and with care she squeezed a little out, rubbing it over her teeth with one finger. Funny taste- fennel? Nice and refreshing, though, and perhaps it would prevent her mouth from being as sour as the last time. She scooshed several mouthfuls of water through her teeth and spat, ending with a gargle that was as quiet as she could make it, then crept back to bed.

“Fin?”

“Oh, Petra, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you...”

“Don’t worry. I need to go myself. I’ve got a whopper of a head, how about you?”

“’Fraid so.”

“I’ll get us some Alka-Selzer. The sooner we start the cure the better.”

“Oh thanks, I’m really, really thirsty. Must be all that spaghetti.”

“Must admit, it’s the best batch I’ve ever made. We probably just overdid it a bit. How did you enjoy it?”

“Glorious. Wonderful. Very satisfying. How about you?”

“Compares very well with the best I’ve ever had. Oh excuse me, Fin, I’ve got to go.”
