Every few weeks, Rebecca came across this man at a gathering in town. Usually, she acknowledged him and moved on. Several of her friends doted on him. I went in there in pain and when I came out I was a new woman. He’s just amazing. There was worship in their tone, as if he were the expected prophet returned to earth. She couldn’t help her irrational Doctor Fell dislike. Instinct? She’d dismissed jealousy. Her friends loved her no less for seeing him. But there was something amiss. Clearly he didn’t like being ignored but she felt it was important to be the standout, to teach this man that he wasn’t a god. And now, by chance, they were sitting side by side because Carrie had given her this ticket. You don’t get out enough. Go. You like Pärt. Was it a ploy?

He tried again. “You like modern music?”

“Some.”

“It’s a matter of taste, yes.”

“Yes.”

“How is your son?”

“Fine! Thank you.”

This was how he did it, of course, by finding weak spots. Someone had told him about Owen! It was too much. There was no way she was going to discuss her family with him. She got up and walked to the back of the hall. Her friends, his acolytes, no doubt fed him stories in a kindly way. Thank heavens he didn’t, as far as she knew, go in for blackmail. He had no right to creep into her life. When the players returned to the stage, she found an empty seat in the back row and let the music take over her mind.
