CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

Jem wakes me in the morning with breakfast on a tray complete with pink carnation in a vase. I peer at it in amazement. There’s cereal, bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, and a glass of what looks like sparkling orange juice with a strawberry and a slice of orange in it. I take a sip.

‘Wow! This is gorgeous.’

‘It’s Buck’s Fizz. Champagne and orange juice.’

‘Champagne?’

‘You know, the fizzy stuff.’ His eyes are alight with laughter.

‘I know what it is, idiot. Where did you get it?’

‘I found a case of it in the cupboard. Don’t worry, he won’t miss one.’

‘Jem! Of course he will! You’ll have to replace it! And the bacon and eggs and stuff!’

‘I will. Now shut up and enjoy your breakfast.’

I sit back against the pillows and take another sip. ‘I could get used to this.’

‘You can. For the next few nights, anyway.’

‘You reckon?’ I poke my toast into the egg and take a bite. ‘Delicious. How did you know this is the way I like my eggs?’

‘Oh, I know everything about you.’ Jem grins and tops up my glass with more champagne. ‘Nothing escapes me.’

I grin at him happily as the yolk runs down my chin. ‘Do you know, I’m beginning to think you do!’
