Tess considered the salon for a few more moments. She decided that just walking in, hair bundled up in a scrunchy, wearing the floral English summer dress and with the big hairy dogs, probably wasn’t an option. Someone terrifying in toothpick jeans would probably eviscerate her with a sweep of their disdainful eyes and a flick of their hair.

So instead, she decided to call and book an appointment. This turned out to be so much trickier than doing the same thing in the UK. There were so many more questions.

‘Do we know you? Have you been before? What is your hair like? What treatments do you want? What products do you use? What is your hair currently dyed with?’ And finally: ‘Well… we might have an opening in, like, four weeks’ time. Do you want to book that? And we can put you on the wait list. That means if anyone cancels, we call you, if you can come at short notice.’

Tess made a booking that was for the day before she was due to fly home and put her name down on the wait list.

Then she tried her son’s number and got voicemail once again: ‘Hello darling, it’s Mum. Can you just give me a little call back, please? I’m on the other side of the world. If you don’t phone, I’m just going to worry… and keep on phoning. So please, darling, just give me a call.’

For several long moments, she looked at her phone and willed him to call back. But it remained silent. She thought of all the times in the past when she’d freaked herself out about Alex’s lack of contact. And he had always been fine. There had always been a rational, although maybe thoughtless, explanation.

So, no, she wasn’t going to drive herself mad about his silence now.
