Mrs Megson has made something called Cullen skink for lunch. It’s a sort of fish soup and is frankly delicious. We both polish off two bowls, complete with huge wedges of toast.

Feeling decidedly stuffed, I set my spoon aside. “I need the loo. Back in a minute.”

“I think I’ll go up,” Ștefan replies. “See you upstairs.”

I’m washing my hands when Ștefan bursts through the door into the ladies’ toilets. “What are you—?”

“They’re here. We need to go.”

“What? Who’s here?” I gape at him, confused.

“Who do you think?” He holds out his hand. “I’ve put our stuff in the car. We need to go out the back way, Bert’s unlocked the rear door, but we need to get a shift on.”

I take no more persuading. I grab his hand and run.

We emerge at the side of the pub and have to make our way around to the front where our vehicle is parked. I flatten myself against the stonework while Ștefan checks the coast is clear. He beckons me to make a run for it.

We scuttle at a crouch across the snow-blanketed car park and clamber into the front seats. I spot the dark-coloured van parked on the other side of the road.

“Is that theirs?” I ask.

“I think so.”

“Maybe we should…”

“Good thinking.” Ștefan slithers from the driver’s seat and jogs across the road. He has a knife in his hand.

I can’t start to imagine where he produced that from, but he drops to his haunches beside the front offside tyre and slashes it. He sprints around the van, letting down all four tyres, then returns to the Land Rover.

“I hope it was theirs,” I say as he backs the vehicle slowly through the snow, performing a three-point turn to exit the car park.

“Yeah, well.” He appears unrepentant. We slither along the icy, uncleared road, heading south.
