“So was it fantastic?”

“Oh, definitely.” Tessa gave a broad wink. “It was absolutely fantastic.”

“Oh, I don’t mean that.” Jenny said, slightly pink-cheeked, as she realised her unintentional double-entendre, “I meant the place itself – what was it like?”

“Really amazing – wasn’t it, Gerry? I have to admit when I got off the plane after a ten-hour flight to Bangkok, and another four hours again to Bali, I couldn’t care less what the place was like, I just wanted to sleep for a week. And then …”

“Then we got to the hotel,” Gerry, finished.

“Girls, it was the most fantastic place I’ve ever seen.” Tessa exclaimed. “I said to myself, my God this is how the stars must live. I’ll never forget that first look at it as we turned into the entrance.”

“Where did you stay?” Mike asked, taking a handful of peanuts from a bowl on the coffee table.

“The Hilton,” Gerry said. “It was all so exotic – oriental statues and fountains everywhere – and inside the building was just as amazing. Gold and woodcarvings on the doors, the walls – everywhere.”

“It was paradise found,” Tessa added. “Bounty Ads, Robinson Crusoe – you name it. The hotel was on its own beach – there was hardly anyone else around.”

“Sounds like paradise, alright,” Shane said thoughtfully, and turned to Karen. “Where’ll we go for our honeymoon, love?”

Jenny let out a little squeal of delight. “Does that mean what I think it means? Have you two finally set a date?”

Karen shook her head and caught Tessa’s eye. “No, Jen,” she said quietly, “we haven’t – Shane is probably just thinking out loud. Aren’t you?”

“I think she’s having second thoughts about marrying me altogether,” Shane joked, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

“Pity. I wouldn’t mind another day out. I really enjoyed your wedding.”

“I’d say you did, alright,” Tessa laughed, hoping to change the subject for Karen’s sake.

Jenny caught her meaning and gave a little smile. “It was alright,” she said, glancing sideways at Mike, “apart from this guy I met there who hasn’t stopped tormenting me since. He just keeps following me everywhere, and won’t leave me alone – ouch.” Mike pinched her thigh, and she grimaced.

Karen went out to the kitchen for more drinks, and Tessa followed her.

“Can you believe those two?” she asked, her eyes wide as she took another bottle of wine from the fridge.

Karen nodded smugly, folding her arms across her chest. “I told you, didn’t I? They seem completely besotted with one another.”

“But that’s terrific,” Tessa said. “It means that she’s finally over Roan, doesn’t it? Lucky thing – Mike’s an absolute pet too. I have to admit, I didn’t really believe it when you said she was back to herself.”

“Did you notice how she hasn’t stopped grinning since she walked in the door?” Karen was struggling with the bottle-opener.

“Who hasn’t stopped grinning?” Jenny asked, entering the kitchen behind them.

“You – and the delicious Mr Kennedy.” Karen handed her a newly opened bottle of wine. “Get another glass from the cupboard and sit down here for a minute.
