“I’m going to miss you,” says Geraldine, putting her arms around me and giving me a huge hug. “Who’s going to make my days bearable for the next two weeks?”

“Who’s going to rewrite your copy, you mean.” I grin, hugging her back and completely forgetting to mention that Geraldine has the joy of writing the Top Tips column in store for her.

“That too,” says Geraldine, “but seriously, I really am going to miss you. Have the most fantastic time. Will you call me?”

“Of course I will.”

“As soon as you get there? I’m dying to know what he’s like. God, he might be short, fat, and balding.”

“Don’t!” I admonish, because I’m nervous enough as it is. “That would be awful,” and then I remember that although I’ve never been short and balding, I was once fat, and in a split second I remember how people judged me, how they misjudged me, more like. “But it would be okay if he was a nice person,” I add, although I’m crossing my fingers and praying he has a full head of hair. “Anyway, we’ve seen his picture, I’m sure it really is him.”

“If you’re sure, I’m sure,” says Geraldine, “but whatever he’s like you’ve got a ticket to Los Angeles. Are you absolutely certain you can’t fit me in your suitcase?”

We both look down at my suitcase, so full all the sides are positively bulging. “Quite certain,” I laugh, “although what I wouldn’t give to have you come with.”
