As he turned left off the tidy village high street, Colt pushed the memory that really brought him here to the back of his mind – it was just a name after all – and focused instead on the winter hanging baskets that adorned every house and business frontage. Even the neatly trimmed road margins displayed fragrant blooms unusual for the season. “I'd like to live somewhere like this,” he said.

“You’d be fodder for the monthly newsletter, you’d never get a seconds peace,” India said. “Besides, you live in the big smoke you don’t do green.”

Colt smirked. “I have houseplants,” he said. “Or at least I did, they're probably dead by now. And if I squint really hard out of the bedroom window, on a smog free day I can get a glimpse of the park.”

A wave of warmth washed over him when she hung her head and huffed with amusement. He glanced across at her, the hair she always wore loose of her braid was hiding her face. It irritated him. On the rare occasions she smiled he wanted to see it.

Pulling up outside the house, he leant over and tucked the free hair behind her ear. And then he saw it – not her smile, but a thick, silvery white track that ran the length of her hairline from temple to chin. Abruptly she turned away and stepped from the car, pulling the hair free again as she strolled up the flower lined path to knock on Angela Compton's front door.

His memory had served him well, how could it not? She recognised him immediately.

“AJ, you haven't changed a bit,” Angela Compton said, and a little bit of sick rose in Colt’s throat.

He squirmed as she embraced him, turned his head towards India to avoid the kiss on his lips. Angela Compton’s wet smacker landed clumsily on his cheek. India stood rooted to the spot, staring at the woman. She looked like she’d seen a ghost.
