Chapter Eight

There were too many hours in the day without Roman in any of them.

On her days off, Milly threw herself into rehearsals and there were costume fittings to slot in, between visiting her mum, and it should have been busy and it was, yet there were still too many hours in the day.

She kept waiting for the moment when she would realise that an hour had gone by without Roman entering her thoughts.

It never came.

She kept wishing a night would pass when she didn’t dream of him.

It didn’t happen.

Or a morning when she didn’t wake with regret for not going again to him.

That never happened too.

“The costumes are beautiful,” Milly told her mum one afternoon as she did her mother’s hair. “The one for my final scene . . . ”

“Where he kills you?” Catherine checked, and Milly smiled. Sometimes her mother didn’t know where she was, or what day of the week it was, but the days when she was lucid, Milly treasured.

“It’s white, it’s supposed to be a nightgown but to show her virtue it’s more like a wedding gown. Oh, mum, it’s gorgeous. I can’t believe I’m having these stunning costumes designed for me to wear them!”

“Will I be able to see you?” Catherine asked and Milly nodded.

“I’ve already spoken to the nurses and one of them can come with you to watch me.”

“You’re not happy though,” Catherine commented and Milly’s hand paused, mid stroke of the brush.

“Of course I am.”

“Milly?”

“I met someone,” Milly admitted. “He means an awful lot more to me than I do to him.”

“Maybe not.”

Milly smiled, she could throw away her mother’s rollers for ever if she told her mother, because it would certainly make her hair curl if she knew what Milly had been up to that night, and that she was still regretting that she hadn’t gone to him again.

Nothing took away the memory of Roman.

Lying in the bath, trying to brace herself to go to work that evening, she would have preferred a night spent at home, just to think of him. She knew he wasn’t going to be there tonight.

Simon had texted her during the week to tell her that Roman had checked out.

Milly hauled herself out of the bath and wrapped herself in a towel and wondered how she could possibly love a man who thought so very little of her.

When her phone rang Milly she picked it up hoping it was Simon to tell her that her shift had been cancelled, as often happened around this time.

It never entered her head that it might be Roman.

Until she heard the deep of his voice. “Milly?”

She didn’t respond at first. It would be easier, she knew, to simply turn her phone off, to block him, delete him, as her head told her to do.

Instead, she answered him with a question.

“How did you get my number?”

“Millicent Harper,” Roman said. “I watched you audition.”

“That doesn’t answer my question.” Milly burned in embarrassment that he had been there at the rehearsal, but was also touched that he had been there too.
