“Good morning, Miss Hart,” Inspector Marks said, smiling. He was just as handsome and dapper as I remembered, his black hair and moustache neatly trimmed, a trilby set square on his head. His suit looked to be a rather better one than I remembered him wearing before. Mind you, I was so taken aback, he could have come in wearing a Scotsman’s kilt and it wouldn’t have thrown me more.

I gaped like a goldfish for a good few seconds too long before reason returned and I straightened up sharply, wiping my fishy hand on my apron. My second thought, after the first shock of seeing him, was that he would have had to come and see me while I was making fish stew. The kitchen and everything in it, including me, stank of fish. Instinctively, my hands went up to my hair, checking for wisps before I forced them down again, not wanting to make matters worse.

“Inspector Marks,” I said eventually, trying to regain my composure. “What a surprise.”

The inspector looked surprised himself. “You didn’t realise I was coming?”

Would I look like this if I had? was what I didn’t say. I shook my head. “No, I—” Belatedly, I remembered Verity telling me to expect a surprise. And giggling while she said it. The little minx. She knew some of my feelings about the inspector although not the innermost, secret workings of my heart. Cheeks burning, I tried to pull myself together. “No, I didn’t know at all. It’s – it’s a pleasure to see you, sir.”
