He left not long afterwards, but asked if he could come back the following evening with a proper drawing and specifications.

Nicola picked Chris up from kindy and they had lunch with Ellen in the kitchen, but she was restless and jumpy. Then she made an abrupt decision.

‘Ellen, could you hold the fort this afternoon? I need to go into town.’

‘Will do,’ Ellen said obligingly. ‘I might take them to the park after I pick Sasha up from school.’

‘Yowee!’ Chris said enthusiastically.

Nicola decided to change, and chose what to wear with care. But what if Brett is out of the office? she asked herself as she stared at her clothes, and answered herself—I can’t sit around doing nothing; that’s all there is to it.

She finally settled on an ice-blue crepe trouser suit. The jacket was long-line and double-breasted, with short sleeves, and she slipped on white court shoes with square toes and silver Cuban heels and slung a white quilted leather purse with a silver chain over her shoulder. Dressy enough to be seen in the offices of Hinton, Harcourt & Associates, she decided, and dressy enough for the wife of the senior partner—not to mention dressy enough for Tara Wells.

She drove her silver hatchback down the Knob and through the village at the prescribed mileage, then speeded up as the houses gave way to cane fields.

Along the highway there was more evidence that Cairns was a sugar town, as cane trains laden with cut stalks shuttled along.

But once she’d left the northern beach suburbs behind, and passed the airport, it became obvious that Cairns was also a tourist destination. Many motels lined the main roads and the tourists, lured from all over the world to the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef and the world heritage-listed Daintry Rainforest, were easily detectable in their bright holiday clothing and with their cameras at the ready.

It wasn’t these things that occupied her mind, though, as she parked her car in Sheridan Street and sat in it for several minutes. It was what she was going to say to Brett that caused her palms to be damp and her brow to be furrowed with indecision. Had the time come for the simple truth? she wondered painfully.
