Chapter Fifteen

Lucas had been gone for a mere forty-two hours and she hadn’t slept a wink.

Once Justin realised she wasn’t going to France until she was able to travel, he’d stopped returning her calls. He’d ignored the invitation to dinner, too. This was not unusual behaviour for him. He used silence as a weapon whenever he was unhappy with her or not getting his own way. So she’d turned off her phone to stop tormenting herself.

Trying not to let Justin get to her and telling herself she was being pathetic to miss Lucas so much, Becca dragged her weary body into the kitchen to find his housekeeper on a break and reading the latest hot gossip.

“Did you drink your ginger tea?” Moira asked her then frowned as she took in her appearance. She rose and moved to the largest industrial sized refrigerator Becca had ever seen.

“Yes, thank you. It seems to do the trick.” She stifled a yawn. “Sorry.”

Moira peered over her shoulder and beaned her with a look.

“Margo has called twice this morning and so has The Boss. Apparently, you’ve not been looking at your inbox because he’s has not received a reply to his emails. And your Smartphone is switched off.”

She poured Becca tea and placed it in front of her.

Becca glowered into the cup. “I like my old phone.”

“Is it switched on because Margo said it’s going straight to voicemail?”

“Um, no.”

Moira rolled her eyes. “Why haven’t you checked your emails?”

Becca wriggled on her chair feeling very hard done by. “I will after I’ve had my breakfast.”

“See that you do. He’s worrying.”

Sheesh, Moira was worse than her mother. Her guilty conscience gave Becca a nudge. She needed to get over her phobia about technology. If a ten year old could surf the net and answer emails on a laptop then she could, too. She had her flow chart that Lucas had gone through with her and it was easy when he was sitting at her elbow, but quite a different experience when she was sitting alone with the thing buzzing and pinging at her.

Moira placed a chunky glass dish in front her containing a screaming pink concoction topped with fresh blueberries and sprinkled with seeds.

Becca took a cautious sniff, picked up a spoon. “What is it?”

“It’s all organic. Plain yoghurt, two scoops of protein powder and fresh raspberries all whizzed together and sprinkled with fresh blueberries, a mix of pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and linseeds.”

Yoghurt wasn’t her favourite food, but Becca took a careful taste and her eyes went wide.

“This delicious. Thank you.” She suppressed another yawn.

“You’re welcome.” Moira ran a critical but kind eye over her. “Not sleeping?”

Becca shook her head. “I don’t know what’s the matter with me.”

“You’re missing Lucas. It’s natural.”

“I’m being pathetic.”

“You’re in love. No, don’t look at me like that. You can’t have love without lust.”

With care, Becca put down the spoon and met her eyes.

“I lost the love of my life, Moira. Something in me died too that day.”

The Scotswoman poured Becca another cup of tea and sat next to her.
