Chapter Five

We’d reached the pub garden and were heading for the door. “Eh?” How the hell does he always ask that at the right time? Do I have one of those bubbles coming out of my head with the words I am thinking in it?

“You, you’re worrying I can tell.” Noah stopped walking. “What about?”

Should I tell him? I took a deep breath. Why not? “Watching you and Tawny on the big screen.”

He roared with laughter, to the extent tears were at the corner of his eyes.

“You what? Oh, hon, apart from acting, I ate garlic so she didn’t overstep the mark.”

I rocked on my heels. The visions that conjured up. “You what? Tawny the vampire?”

“It wouldn’t surprise me. Then if I thought she was taking liberties, I breathed heavily all over her. Plus, I grew my fingernails. They got dug into her a few times before she got the message. Actually, I did her a favor because she winced and hissed once or twice and it looked like she was in the throes of ecstasy. The director was very impressed.”

It was my turn to roar with laughter. “Oh, I love it.” And I’d remember it when I needed to. “When is this premiere, by the way, and why are you looking shifty?’

He coughed. “Moi?”

“Yes, you. Come on, Noah, truth time. Today is Monday, and the poster in town says the film is on here from Friday. So?”

“Thursday?” The screech I gave made even me wince. Three pigeons flew up and away in a hurry, and Lager, the pub’s tortoiseshell cat, which had been heading in our direction, turned tail and headed back the way he came. “Shit, Noah, and between now and then, I need to get a dress, get defuzzed, have hair, nails, and God knows whatever else done. Give me a break.”

“I did. I almost left it until Wednesday and kidnapped you.”

Just as well he hadn’t, I’d have killed him.

“Never fear, though, all is sorted. If you’re agreeable,” he added hastily. “I’ve got it all in hand.”

That was what I was worried about.

“Sorted as in how?” I asked once we’d picked up our drinks and decided to sit in the garden. It was sunny and breezy, but by unspoken agreement, we’d decided to go outside where we could talk and not be under a microscope, so to speak. I’d forgotten all these sorts of things. Guess for a while I’d have to remember them.

“Sheesh, I thought it was going to be twenty questions in there,” he said as he rested his chin in his palm and spoke softly without moving his lips much.

That was something I hated. “Is this cloak-and-dagger talk behind your hand really necessary?” I asked, doing the same thing, damn it.

He leaned forward so our noses were almost touching. “Dunno, but I bet you a quid someone in there knows it’s me and either has their phone cameras on us or is gonna come out and ask. After all, they know you all as Mrs.
