“Russell?” I said over supper that night. “I’ve got a date this evening—so if I don’t come home tonight, no need to call the police.” Because he would. Russell was just that kind of bloke. Last week had proved that. “Russell?” I asked again. He seemed a bit distracted. Maybe he’d had a bad day at work.

“Oh. Sorry. So, er, you’ve met someone? That’s. Um. Nice.”

I laughed. “Nah, it’s not that kind of date. This is just some bloke who might be able to give me a hand finding a job. Get your mortgage paid off quicker.”

He didn’t look exactly grateful. “So why would you need to stay out all night with him?”

For a thirty-year-old, he was bloody naïve. “Russell, it’s the way of the world. I want something from him. He’s going to want something from me.”

Russell pushed his plate away roughly, his food only half-eaten. First time I’d ever seen him leave pasta. I was a bit hurt, to tell the truth. I’d made that sauce ’specially because he’d said how much he liked it last time. “People do help other people without expecting them to jump into bed with them!” he snapped.

“Jesus, Russell, it’s just sex!” Sod it. Now I’d lost my appetite. “It’s not like I’m a bloody virgin—although I might as well be, with the amount of action I’ve been getting lately!”

I stormed to my bedroom and slammed the door. What the fuck was it to him if I let some bloke he’d never met do me? If you’re not hungry, get out of the fucking kitchen.
