Chapter Thirteen

Dani had finished off another piece of work for a client’s brochure. It was after seven and just time for her to get home before Camila landed. A knock on the door startled her. The face that appeared around it was a surprise. She hadn’t seen her brother for months. “Brian! What are you doing here?”

“Thought I better check on you. Missed you last time you visited my place of work.”

“I might have known. Did you know I was there all night?”

“Sure. Thought a night in a cell might do you some good. But when I heard they’d sent two goons to interview you, I thought I’d better get you out before you talked yourself into serious trouble.”

“You’re all heart, bro.” Brian was an inspector in the Met.

He came over to her and surprised her further by giving her a quick hug. “I worry about you.”

“Thanks, but I’m a big girl now.”

“I know. What’s this shit going on with you and Gordon?”

“How do you know about that?”

“People talk. So what’s up?”

“Just a little disagreement over lifestyles.”

“He’s an idiot.” He had wandered over to her drawing table. “You’ve got more talent in your little finger than he will ever have in his whole body.”

“Thanks. But somehow I don’t think you’ve come here to tell me that.”

“No.” He paused and looked at her. “It’s me and June. She’s finally decided she’s had enough. The lot of a policeman’s wife is not a happy one—”

“Hey, I’m sorry, but—”

“I know. You can say, ‘I told you so’. But love is blind.”

She knew he was upset when he talked in clichés. “What about the kids?” Her two nieces were very young, possibly still preschool age. Not that she would know them if she saw them. June hadn’t wanted the girls to have anything to do with their “weird” aunt.

“They hardly know me as it is.” He shoved his hands in his pockets.

“So is there someone else?”

“Yeah. Some smarmy git with a nine-to-five job.”

Dani looked at her watch. She needed to make a move or Camila would be waiting on the doorstep. Brian caught the movement. “Got a date?”

“Yeah. I need to be going.”

“I can give you a lift.”

“Okay. Great.” She had been thinking she would need to get a taxi.

During the drive he did most of the talking, telling her about a case he was working on. It wasn’t until they were passing Hammersmith that Dani asked, “Where are you staying?”

“Dossing with a mate. Need to sell the house before I can afford to buy anything.”

“I can sub you…if you need cash.”

“It shouldn’t come to that, but thanks.”

Camila was indeed waiting on the doorstep when they arrived at the house. Before Dani could stop him, Brian jumped out of the car and approached her. “Hi, I’m Brian, Dani’s brother.”

“Camila.”

“Pleased to meet you.” He ignored the look Dani was giving him. “She’s kept you a secret.”

“Brian, thanks for the lift, but you can piss off now.”

“Oh, I thought you were going to invite me in for a drink.
