Chapter 11

‘HAS DARYL GOT a new Angel?’ screamed the headline in the Sun the following morning. Susie didn’t seem to have done a good job of defusing the story, Angel thought bitterly as she scanned the article. A ‘friend’ had told the paper that the pair had seemed smitten with each other, that Angel had confessed she was seriously having doubts about her marriage to Ethan, and that they had spent most of the night together in the club, hardly able to keep their hands off each other . . . not that old bloody tabloid cliché! The couple were said to have left the club separately, only to meet up at the Mayfair Hotel where guests were said to have commented on the loud noises coming from their suite. As if!

Angel angrily threw the paper across her mum’s kitchen table, disgusted by the blatant lies. ‘I haven’t read that yet!’ Frank said accusingly, from his position at the head of the table where he was ploughing his way through a plate of bacon and egg which Michelle only allowed him to have once a week now, drawing the line at fried bread.

‘It’s all crap!’ Angel exclaimed. ‘I can’t believe they can get away with printing it. And I bet I know who “the friend” is,’ she added darkly.

‘Who’s that then?’ Michelle asked, sitting down with her bowl of muesli.

‘Simone bloody bitch-face Fraser.’

Michelle winced. ‘She was never very nice to you was she?’ A typical understatement from her mum.

‘And I never knew what Cal saw in her,’ Frank put in.

Blimey! Her dad was actually criticising Cal. Angel couldn’t resist pointing it out. ‘Not like you to say anything bad about him.’

‘Why do you say that?’ Frank asked.

Angel pushed her yoghurt and blueberries around in the bowl; she was trying to be healthy after overdoing the drink. ‘Well, it’s just sometimes I feel that you think Cal is perfect, whatever he does.’

Frank shook his head; he hated being criticised. ‘I’ve never thought that. I just think you shouldn’t be rushing into marriage with this Ethan.’ Okay, finally her dad had come out with what had been bothering him.

‘He’s not this Ethan!’ Angel exclaimed hotly. ‘And I’m not rushing into it. I love him and it’s the right thing to do.’

‘You could wait a bit longer, though, couldn’t you? I don’t see the need for the urgency. It seems spiteful somehow.’

‘Spiteful to who? Oh, to Cal? He’s the one who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants when we were married!’

Frank frowned at the expression; he had always been a bit staid in his ways, a little bit sexist. He thought it was fine for men to swear like troopers but that ladies shouldn’t. Both he and Angel were getting very wound up – Frank’s breakfast lay untouched as did hers. It was left to Michelle, as so many times in the past, to try and smooth things over between father and daughter.

‘Come on, you two! Angel’s going back tomorrow, don’t part on a quarrel.
