Harrison's eyes sprung open as he turned onto the riverside esplanade. A young woman looking very much like Zoe was hugging a well-built blond-haired man who looked very much like Spencer. No! it can't be... He took another look and his heart plummetted. His eyes hadn't deceived him.

He thumped the wheel. Why would Zoe be doing this? His lips were still raw from last night's kisses. How could she be in another man's arms this morning! She'd convinced him nothing was going on between the two of them. He didn't understand. A mixture of despair, anger and confusion welled up within him. How could he go to work now and talk calmly with Tessa as if nothing had happened? Maybe he should call off the meeting and reschedule, and instead confront Zoe and find out what was going on. He let out an angry sigh. No, Tessa had said it had to be today. He'd just have to confront Zoe tonight at dinner.

Harrison swung into the car park of the New Farm Veterinary Clinic a few minutes early. Tessa had asked him to be there by seven as she had a busy day finishing off everything before she and her husband, Ben, left for Ecuador the following morning. He closed the roof and stepped out of the car. A cigarette right now would help, but he didn't have any—Zoe had made him give up smoking soon after they'd started dating. Without one at hand, he paced the length of the car park. What was Zoe playing at? He raked his hand through his hair. He just couldn't understand her. Maybe it was all too hard and they should just call it off. But that thought made him sick in the stomach. Zoe was everything he'd ever wanted in a girl. Smart, funny, loyal, kind, beautiful. Maybe a little too feisty at times, and perhaps a little too bossy, but what they had was special. Well, he thought it was. He loved her, and he thought she loved him. If she was still hankering after Spencer, then she should come clean. Not kiss him passionately one night and fall into Spencer's arms the next. He hadn't thought she was that kind of girl.

Tessa's small blue sedan pulled into the car park and stopped beside his car. As she opened the car door and stepped out, she waved and walked towards him, a genuine smile lighting up her face. How she could be happy when things were such a mess for her and her husband? Maybe they'd heard from Ben's son?

"How are you, Harrison?"

Harrison squared his shoulders and forced himself to return her smile. "Fine, thanks. And you?"

"Busy, but good." She inserted the key into the door and pushed it open.

She turned on the air-con while he opened the blinds. The smell of disinfectant wafted in the air but didn't fully disguise the distinctive odour left behind by the dog and cat clientele.

"You must be excited," Harrison said as he turned around.

Tessa nodded.
