Chapter 21

When Luke, Martha and Lucia arrived back in the village, the light was fading, and what remaining sunlight there was made the trees cast slanting shadows across the lawns of the big house. The car had dropped Martha and Luke off at the bottom of the drive, before continuing on with Lucia and their luggage.

“Shit Martha, how much did you buy?” Luke laughed. “This case is twice as heavy as it was when we went out.”

“No it is not, you’re just not as strong after a week with me in your bed.” Martha winked as she reached up to kiss him.

“You have turned into a naughty girl Miss Bright. You couldn’t even look at me naked a few weeks ago, now you’re dragging me into bed at every opportunity.”

Martha smiled, recalling the times they’d spent in bed made her skin prickle with sparks of excitement. She put the key in the lock and opened the door, instinctively bending down to pet Ernie who was certain to come rushing out to greet her, but nothing happened. The house was empty.

“Funny,” she said as she led Luke into the lounge. ”I would have expected Betty to be here.”

“Did you tell her what time you’d be back?” Luke asked as he dropped Martha’s case in the hall.

“Yes I said, about eight.”

“Maybe she’s just taken Ernie out, she’ll be back soon I’m sure.” Luke put his arms around Martha’s waist and pulled her to him. “But, while we wait, maybe we can have a little kiss, just to keep me going through a night without you in my bed.”

As she melted into his embrace, Martha couldn’t help but feel a sadness in her heart. Everything had moved on extremely quickly between them, and now they were back home, following their normal lives, it would be strange not being together every day. They’d discussed with Lucia how things were going to work with Martha being employed by Luke, and agreed that it shouldn’t change anything. In fact Martha insisted that it didn’t – she didn’t want him whisking her off for trips out when she should be working, or distracting her with seductive looks and kisses. She had a contract and was going to stick to it.

“I’m going to miss you,” she whispered.

“Me too, so I was thinking maybe…”

The sound of something banging on the floor above where they were standing startled Martha and she put a finger up, indicating for Luke to be quiet. They both listened and heard the noise again.

“It must be Betty,” Luke whispered.

Martha shook her head. “No it’s coming from my room, and in any case if she was here Ernie would be too.”

“I’ll check,” Luke said, looking around. He picked up a candlestick from the fireplace. “You stay here.”

Martha giggled. “Its papier-mâché Luke, Betty made it at school when she was about six.”

“Oh, right. Fuck it, I’ll just have to punch whoever it is.” He quickly kissed Martha and made his way to the hall.

As Luke stealthily crept up the stairs, he could feel a presence behind him.
