She had just read the signature which was written in childish capital letters when the lights clicked off and she shuddered as she slid down under the flimsy blanket. She didnât know what to make of it and was unable to stop shivering. She had left home to get away from her mother, but somehow Ena was still managing to interfere in her life. Vera felt a flash of shame as she realized she hadnât yet written to Bob since sheâd arrived though sheâd said she would do so as soon as she got to Kent â but when had she had time? Still, sheâd thought of him often while sheâd been working, and she thought of him now. Then she thought of Eric. There was no comparison, so why did her mother persist in trying to push the rag-and-bone boy onto her?
She pictured going to the cinema with Bob and she was overcome by a wave of homesickness. She genuinely missed him and she hoped he missed her. It made her sad to think that he might be going to the cinema on his own and she felt angry at the thought of her mother still trying to take over her life. If it hadnât been for Enaâs meddling, Vera would probably have been married to Bob by now. She couldnât stop a sob escaping. She tried to cover it with a cough. but now that she had seen Ericâs so-called signature on the bottom of the page, she realized that her mother would not leave her alone until she had got her own way, and she couldnât stop the flow of tears that spilled down her cheeks or the low sob that escaped her. Vera vowed to write to Bob the following morning before she started work and tell him that she missed him.
She heard Lilyâs voice call out, âEverything all right, Vera?â
âUh huh,â was all she could reply.
