It was too late. Theo had seen her crying and she’d told him far too much about the night that Fluffy had arrived on her doorstep, and now she felt she couldn’t go back to him again to ask about the gig. If Fiona wanted his band then she’d have to negotiate the deal and if that meant Lara losing Fiona as a client then this time she’d have to risk it.

She’d run for two streets and then she’d stopped and walked the rest of the way home, feeling like a miserable failure. On top of all that, the one little soul who could have been waiting at home to make her feel better was at Theo’s house. The funny thing was that, despite her antipathy towards him and all that had been said, she didn’t blame Theo for not wanting to play at Fiona’s wedding. Lara probably had been rude and unreasonable and she only wished she could make him understand that the irrational way she behaved whenever he was around wasn’t really her at all. Lara could barely understand herself where that woman came from but something about Theo just brought her out.

When she got back to her house and finally locked the world out, she felt so wretched that she couldn’t even be bothered to drink wine. She spent half an hour pedalling furiously on her exercise bike, but that made her feel no better, and then she ran herself a hot bath, but that did nothing except make her feel floppy on top of her misery.

Her mum sent a text at around nine to say that she’d lost her birth certificate and could Lara go with her to the town hall for a new one, though Lara couldn’t imagine why her mum would suddenly need her birth certificate and couldn’t be bothered to ask. It was likely that Fay had simply realised she didn’t know where it was and thought that she ought to. Lara would bet a substantial amount of money that this had happened maybe half a dozen times during the years that Fay had lived in her current house. If they had a few weeks to look, there’d be half a dozen birth certificates stashed in hiding places so safe they were undetectable, even to the woman who’d put them there.

The night was hot and muggy, and Lara changed into her thinnest camisole and shorts for bed. Before she went up, she still had work to finish, though she could barely keep her mind on any of it. Still, after clearing away the remains of her uneaten dinner, she sat at the kitchen table and tried.

By the time the knock came at the door, she’d read about the event facilities at the grounds of Chester FC three times and not a bit of it had stuck in her head. She frowned at the clock and at the interruption. It was a bit late for visitors, and most people sent her a quick text to make sure she was in and available before they turned up.
