Before Bea had steeled her nerve to speak to George about the vetâs bill, Bob stepped in.
âIâve been texting your mum,â he told Bea as they walked onto the shop floor after lunch. âIâm going to give her a lift to pick up Goldie, and Iâll cover the bill.â
âBob, it could be hundreds.â
ââS all right. If Charles is a secret millionaire Iâll get it back from him. If not, no worries. Sheâs our dog now, isnât she?â
Bea had a weird rushing sensation inside her head. Our dog. Did Bob mean he was part of the family now â Bea, Queenie, Goldie and Bob? Oh my God, she thought, heâs going to ask me to call him Dad next.
âItâs like all those pets on Blue Peter â they sort of belong to everyone. Goldie belongs to all of us at Costsave.â
Relief flooded through her and she broke into a smile. âYeah. Thatâs exactly it. The Costsave family.â
They caught each otherâs eye, both aware of the echoes from Gavin, the previous manager, but neither of them said anything about him.
âIf youâre clocking off at five, Iâll give you a lift home, shall I?â said Bob. âThen we can pick up your mum and go straight to the vet?â
âYeah. Great,â said Bea. âBob?â
âWhat?â
What did she actually want to ask him? How did he feel about Queenie? Were his intentions honourable? What was going on with Dot? âNothing,â she said. âJust thanks.â
