Chapter Seventeen

Jon opened the door in a pair of boxer shorts. ‘Imogen,’ he said, surprised.

‘Sorry, Jon.’ Imogen was still holding Anna’s borrowed key to the flat in her hand. ‘I didn’t think anyone would be here.’

‘Come in,’ he said, still looking embarrassed. ‘I know, normally I’d be out, but I’m working from home today.’ His hair stood up in tufts and spikes, as if he’d just woken up.

‘I won’t be a minute,’ Imogen said, walking past him. ‘I just need to pick something up.’ She went through into the bathroom, found her washbag right away and slung it into her satchel. She could hear the TV on quietly in the background. Doesn’t sound much like work, she thought to herself with a smile.

She put her head around the doorway to the living room, where Jon was sitting on the sofa.

‘If you’re at a loose end, I’d love a hand at the shop today,’ she said, adopting her most winning expression.

‘Hectic day ahead, sorry. How’s it been going down there?’

‘Good,’ Imogen said. ‘Better. It’s all change at Vivien’s.’

‘What, with Anna’s course?’

‘More than that,’ Imogen said. ‘Come and take a look.’ She nodded towards the window.

Jon followed her cue and got to his feet. She cleared the steam from the window and they both looked out.

‘Imogen, what on earth’s parked in front of our house?’ he said, pointing down at the van in horror.

‘It’s less a case of what it is,’ Imogen said proudly, ‘more what it’s going to be.’

At the café later that day, the list Imogen was writing was getting longer:

Glastonbury

Secret Garden

Isle of Wight

Sussex Food and Drink Festival
