‘Have you a minute, Rich?’

‘Always for you, Cath. How are things going?’

‘Bit tiring. The nip’s really hard going. Seems to be more keen on English than on enjoying himself, and of course that causes tensions within the group.’

‘I’m sure you handle it magnificently, my dear.’

‘Rich, I know this isn’t the best time for you, but I want to talk about my future.’

‘Can’t it wait? I’m very shaky at the moment.’

‘Yes, I know. It’s just that I want to get in before Gavs does. I don’t want to lose out by holding off.’

‘I’m not with you, Cath. Hold off on what?’

‘Buying into the business. You remember when the profit-sharing started we asked about the possibilities of becoming partners and you said no, because you were a two-man show.’

‘And it’s not a two-man show any longer, you mean,’ said Rich slowly.

‘That’s right, Rich. I’m really sorry, but I had to get my bid in. Just because Gavs has been here longer doesn’t mean it should be him rather than me.’

‘Very well. You’ve made your bid. I’ll think about it.’

‘Do.’

‘It would cost a lot to buy your way in.’

‘I’d get it somehow. My parents would help.’

‘All right, Cath. Leave it for now. We’ll talk again soon.’
