The next three days flew past as Camilla worked, visited Dawn’s to spend time with Laura, James, Lulu, Wallace and Wallace’s offspring, and tried to keep herself from texting Tom. Which she failed to resist, of course, but she tried to keep the texts light-hearted and amusing. With her travelling into London and Tom’s long hours at the surgery, there was no chance of bumping into him unless she went walking early in the morning, and she was so tired that she convinced herself to stay in bed until a reasonable hour each day.

She’d also been trying not to worry too much about her parents and their situation. Hoping she was doing the right thing, she’d kept what she’d seen from Dawn, and she put her faith in her parents to tell Dawn that they were getting back together when they were ready. She knew they were going round to Dawn’s for a cuppa that morning but hadn’t heard anything, so assumed it all went well and that Dawn wasn’t suspicious about their rekindled love affair. Although Camilla now wondered how Dawn would react anyway. She’d been so much happier since Rick had quit his City job to work from home that she didn’t seem to get fazed by things anymore. It was as if accepting her third pregnancy, and finding out that her husband loved her as much as when they got together, had released her from anxiety and Camilla loved seeing her far more relaxed. So perhaps Dawn would just take it all in her stride once she did find out. Camilla was also hoping it would work out for Jackie and Laurence, because if it did then life would be easier for all of them. Camilla would feel less responsibility on her own shoulders and that would be very nice indeed.

Friday afternoon arrived and Camilla was itching to see Tom again. She wondered if he felt the same. She’d arranged to meet Allie, Chris and Honey at The Red Fox for the pub quiz that evening, and decided to ask Tom if he’d like to join them. After all, it wasn’t really like asking him out on a date, because there would be other people there, but she could ask him if he wanted to be on their team.

She sent a text at four thirty-five then waited.

And waited.

At four fifty-five her mobile buzzed.
