Chapter Ten

The last week of October was a half-term holiday, and most of the school emptied out as the pupils went home to see their parents.

Flora was amazed and delighted when Michael invited her to spend a few days with him at his parents’ house. She arranged to go there for four days; then she would fly to Paris for a long weekend with her mother before flying back for school the following Monday.

Things had been distant between her and Michael recently. He had been attentive and loving when it was just the two of them, holding her hand and kissing her all the time; but he had seemed to stop bothering to spend time with her doing other things as well. If she invited him to come to the Games Room or the local pub or on a day out with friends, then he had always been too busy. So Flora jumped at the chance to spend a few days alone together, thinking it would help them becoming closer again.

At first it seemed to work. His parents had a huge estate, and she and Michael had found lots of time to sneak away on their own, but he had become increasingly bad-tempered with her, and now on her third day she was already looking forward to leaving. After a family breakfast where he’d barely said a word to her, Flora decided to go for a long walk in the fresh air, culminating in a spot of dozing in a walled rose garden.

Flora’s breath caught in her throat as she saw a figure walking towards her. She’d assumed it was Michael, but now he was getting closer she could see it was his brother Gabriel. How long had she been in the garden? When did Gabriel arrive?

Gabriel gave her a warm smile and sat on the grass beside her.

“Hi, Flora, long time no see.” He was still the most stunning man she had ever seen and Flora just gaped at him for a moment before gathering her wits.

“Hello, Gabriel. Yes, it’s been a few months.”

“So you and Michael are a couple now” – Gabriel gave her a perceptive glance – “but you’re hiding in the garden and he’s sulking in his room?”

Flora picked at the grass in front of her. “Yeah, we argue a lot.”

Gabriel raised his eyebrows. “I find that hard to believe. You’re not exactly the argumentative type, and Michael has always been fairly gentle too. Is he not settling in at Compass Court?”

Flora couldn’t help a little bitterness from creeping into her tone as she said, “Oh, he’s settling in just fine. Seems to have more female friends than he can handle, quite frankly. They are still calling him at all hours of the day and night, even though I’m here.”

“Oh.” Gabriel blinked a few times in surprise. “Yes, of course,” He muttered to himself, “I should have seen that coming.”

Flora looked at him questioningly.

“I’ll have a chat with him,” Gabriel said. “Will you just give him
