Aidan, as good as his word, chased Petra and Iain out of the office as soon as Petra had a quote for him. Then he made a few phone calls and rattled off some emails, and called in he didn’t know how many favours. But by the end of that day, he had, in transit, enough supplies to make a start at Hartsford Hall a week on Monday if required.

He picked up his phone, intending to send Cassie a quick text, just to let her know when they could start work if Alex was happy with the price. But instead of opening the ‘message’ icon, almost unconsciously, he clicked on the ‘call’ icon.

Before he could register it, the telephone was ringing and it took only a moment before she answered.

‘Hello?’

‘Cassie?’

There was a beat. ‘Aidan?’ Then there was another, warm little, ‘Hello!’

Aidan smiled into the receiver, the expression coming out in the tone of his voice. ‘The very same.’

‘Did you get a quote for me already?’

‘Yes. I came straight back to the office and got it all sorted. Plans and everything.’ He gave her the quote, crossing his fingers and knocking even more off the price Petra had given him. ‘We can start the week after next, on the Tuesday if you’re happy with it. Can we arrange the deliveries for a week on Monday? My site manager will liaise with you for all that.’

‘Oh. Yes, of course. It’s less than Alex told me I had in my budget, so I’d say we’re good to go.’

Aidan smiled again and said something he really hadn’t been intending saying at all. ‘Excellent. I’ll confirm that for a week on Monday, then I can get involved a little further down the line.’

‘Okay.’ There was an answering smile in Cassie’s voice and it felt good. Maybe her involvement with that Tom guy wasn’t serious? One could hope.

‘So, have you been back into the secret room?’ Aidan was reluctant to end the conversation.

‘Yes. I went in and put it all back together, although I think I damaged the floor a bit. And I definitely damaged the chair. Never mind.’

‘Never mind,’ Aidan echoed. ‘Can it be fixed?’

‘I doubt it. I found a letter in the chair cushion though. So it wasn’t all bad.’

‘A letter?’ Aidan leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. This was just the sort of thing he liked to hear about. ‘Who from?’

‘I don’t know.’ Aidan imagined her shrugging. ‘Someone who’d swallowed a punctuation guide I think.’

He laughed. ‘How come?’

‘His name.’ She sighed. ‘It’s a silly one. Something about apostrophes, the idiot.’

‘And what exactly is he called, this idiot man?’

‘Apostro … Apostro … Hang on.’ He could hear her rustling papers around. He wondered if she was in an office or at home. He looked at the clock. It was almost seven in the evening. Probably home then. He was the only one daft enough to be in his office at this time.

‘Ah. Here we are. Astrophel. Similar to Apostrophe. Not quite.’

‘Astrophel? That is a strange one.
