CHAPTER SIX

CARRIE woke up with a start and realised straight away that the plane had landed.

‘It’s time to go,’ Nik said. ‘I’ve already carried Danny out to the car.’

‘I’m coming,’ she said, getting groggily to her feet. She didn’t remember falling asleep, and even now it was a struggle to wake up properly. ‘Sorry—I’m a bit wobbly.’

‘You’ve had a difficult day,’ Nik said. ‘It’s not surprising you’re exhausted.’

‘I suppose so,’ Carrie said. She peered out of the plane window and frowned. It was dark, and she couldn’t see much, but it didn’t look at all familiar.

‘This doesn’t look like Gatwick,’ she said.

‘It’s not,’ Nik said. He picked up Carrie’s hand luggage and moved towards the exit.

‘Where have you brought us?’ Carrie asked. He had already told her he used small airports. This must be one of them.

‘Corfu,’ Nik said. ‘Come. You’ll want to be with Danny, in case he wakes up.’

‘What?’ Carrie gasped in surprise. She couldn’t have heard him properly. Even someone as arrogant and controlling as Nik couldn’t have brought her to a foreign country without her permission. ‘Corfu?’ she repeated in sheer disbelief. ‘You said you’d take us home!’

‘I didn’t say your home,’ Nik shrugged. ‘This is my home, and it is a much more suitable place for Danny to recover.’

‘It wasn’t your choice!’ Carrie cried, hardly able to believe what she was hearing. A terrible day had suddenly got a whole lot worse. ‘You deceived me. You’ve brought us here against my will!’

‘It’s for the best,’ Nik said. ‘There’s no need for you to be cooped up in that dismal little flat. Obviously you will be more comfortable in my home. You can relax and Danny can have the best care to aid his recovery.’

‘I want you to take me home to London,’ Carrie said coldly, digging in her heels and refusing to move. ‘It’s what we agreed, and you know it.’

‘Whatever for?’ Nik sounded genuinely surprised. ‘What is so important in London?’

‘My job, Danny’s nursery, our home!’ Carrie’s voice rose as she spoke.

‘Danny can’t go to nursery while he’s sick,’ Nik said. ‘So you can’t work. And don’t expect me to believe you’d rather be stuck in that tiny flat than taking it easy in my home.’

‘I’m not discussing this with you. It’s my decision, not yours,’ Carrie said firmly, wishing she felt as confident as her voice sounded. ‘I’m getting Danny and taking him home, to London, right now.’

‘How are you planning to do that?’ Nik asked, lifting his dark brows superciliously. ‘You’ll have no more chance of getting him on a flight here than you did in Menorca. What’s more, I’m not going to risk my nephew’s well-being by leaving him in your care when you’re obviously not thinking straight.’

‘I wasn’t thinking straight when I trusted you to take us home,’ Carrie snapped. Tears were pricking behind her eyes but she blinked furiously, determined not to let him see how upset and helpless she felt.

Nik paused at the exit and looked back at her, his broad shoulders virtually blocking the view of the airport behind him.
