By the time I’ve made sure Scarlett is safely back at her flat and caught my bus home, it’s getting late.

I know Zara is home because the living room light is glowing through the dark curtains pulled across the front window.

“Where have you been?” she demands before I’ve even got the door open.

“Out with Scarlett,” I answer. “What about you? You’re the one who’s hardly been here.”

“Well, I haven’t got some secret boyfriend if that’s what you’re thinking.”

“That’s not what I was thinking,” I lie.

“Yes, it is. I got your weird voicemail about Gary from upstairs.”

I’d forgotten about Gary, the possible axe murderer. But, in my defence, he does keep unusual hours. And he’s got a beard.

“I was just worried about you.”

She tilts her head to one side. “So why didn’t you call if you were out with Scarlett?”

I shrug. The honest answer is that it never occurred to me that she would be concerned about my whereabouts, especially since she’s hardly been in herself recently. “Scarlett had personal stuff to sort out.”

“You’re not even going to tell me what you were doing?”

I think about Scarlett’s secret and the humiliation of seeing Jack. There’s no point going over that again.

“I can’t.”

Zara looks away quickly. “I baked you some cupcakes to say sorry that I’ve been working so much lately.”

“Thanks.” I offer her kind smile. “You want to eat the lot and watch repeats of crime dramas on Channel 5?”

It’s so easy to forget about everything when you’re stuffing your face with Zara’s homemade lemon cupcakes and watching the CSI team save the day again.
