I sat outside Adam’s house in my car, faffing with my hair in the rear-view mirror. It was too big, too curly. I’d told them to blow dry it straight but they couldn’t help themselves, they just had to do the big, silly curls on the bottom. I looked like veterinary Barbie: all I was missing was my stethoscope. Actually, I really wished I had it. My heart was pounding and I would’ve loved to get a proper listen to my pulse.

‘It’s going to be fine,’ I assured myself in the rear-view mirror. ‘We’re just going to have a nice casual chat.’

A nice casual chat where I told him everything: how Cassie had spilled the beans about the engagement, how I’d been so stressed out waiting for him to propose, how I was freaking out about taking over the surgery, how I felt completely out of control of my own life and was afraid I was going to wake up to find out I was eighty, alone and incontinent with no idea how to use the latest smartphone. And how I’d missed him every day since we’d got back from holiday and needed his support more than anything else right now. A good shag, too, but mostly him having my back with everything else going to shit. Then maybe we could start fresh and I could resolve at least half the nonsense going on in my tiny mind.

I opened the door and stepped outside, my legs more wobbly than I would have liked. There was a car in Adam’s driveway, a dark green Mini Cooper that I didn’t recognize. Before I could spy through the windows, Adam and a tall brunette walked out of the house and I dashed back to the car, pressing myself up against next-door’s hedge. If this was a client, I didn’t want to bother him. We had serious things to discuss and then serious make-up sex to get down to, and both of those things were going to need a clear mind and some concentration.

Hmm. He looked awfully happy for a man taking a client meeting. I squinted, trying to get my three-day-old daily contact lenses to focus. Funny, he hadn’t mentioned anything about scoring a job for a Victoria’s Secret model. I looked back to Adam and scowled at the goofy grin on his face.

‘It’s just a meeting,’ I reassured myself. ‘He has meetings all the time.’

They carried on chatting in front of the green Mini while I picked at the carefully coiffed ends of my hair. No matter how many tutorials I watched, I’d never been able to pull off that sexy, messy hair look. If I tried to do curls with my straighteners, it looked like Sweeney Todd had been at me with a crimper. When I tried it with tongs, I just looked like a knob. Her hair was perfect. Her arse was perfect. Her legs were perfect. I couldn’t see her boobs or her face properly but even if they were slightly below average, she was still the best-looking woman I’d ever seen with my own eyes.
