In the crowded Cornish pub Lewis sat drinking a pint of real ale and jotted down notes on a small pad while Noella watched him thoughtfully. ‘It’s all grist to your mill, Lewis, isn’t it?’ she laughed at last. ‘Even a quiet drink in a pub is an opportunity to study people.’

‘I won’t be coming back to Cornwall. I have to get the people right,’ he retorted.

‘Has marrying Harriet stopped you fancying other women?’ she murmured as a tall leggy blonde walked by their table and smiled warmly at him.

‘Hardly. It just stops me doing anything about it.’

‘You mean you’re intending to be faithful?’

With a sigh Lewis put down his pad. ‘All right, you’ve got my attention. What are you trying to say?’

‘Only this, honey: your lovely young bride isn’t the kind of lady who should be neglected. She may not have such good self-control as you, since she doesn’t have any job to consume her passion when sex is lacking.’

‘Sex isn’t lacking from our marriage!’ laughed Lewis.

‘But you leave her alone a lot,’ Noella pointed out.

‘She isn’t alone. Edmund is there with her.’

‘And you trust Edmund?’ asked Noella in astonishment.

Lewis leant back in his chair and looked at her through narrowed eyes. ‘Don’t you?’

‘Not one bit, and certainly not with a beautiful sexy girl like Harriet.’

‘Then why are you here with me? You could have stayed at Penruan and acted as chaperone.’

‘I’d made other plans but they were cancelled at the last moment and I didn’t fancy an evening in.’

‘Did these other plans include Oliver Kesby by any chance?’

Noella nodded. ‘They did. We had a great time last night, and were all booked up for tonight when he stood me up. He said he’d forgotten he’d promised to see some friends, but I don’t believe him.’

‘Why not? He seems very smitten. I don’t think he’d pass up the chance of some time alone with you if he could help it,’ said Lewis.

‘Are you taken with me, Lew?’ murmured Noella, reaching out across the table and running her fingers round the inside of his hand which was resting palm uppermost on the table.

‘You’re a very exciting and sexy woman,’ said Lewis carefully.

Noella gave a short laugh. ‘In other words, you don’t fancy me.’

‘Perhaps I’ve known you too long. We’re friends, you know that, but there’s no sexual chemistry there, at least not for me.’

Noella had known what the answer would be but she was still disappointed. ‘How about Harriet’s friend? Do you fancy her?’

‘I’m busy with a film script and I’m also on my honeymoon! I haven’t given Ella more than a fleeting glance.’

Noella leant forward, her elbows on the table. ‘This film, Lewis. What’s it about?’

‘Forbidden desires.’

She shivered with mock excitement. ‘How intriguing. What kind of forbidden desires?’

‘The kind that cause disasters,’ said Lewis slowly. ‘The kind that lead people to do thoroughly reckless things, things they may regret for the rest of their lives, simply because the lure of the forbidden is more than they can resist.’

‘You’re talking about sex I take it?’ queried Noella.
