‘I missed you,’ Karen said, beaming at me when she opened the front door. She threw her arms around my shoulders and squeezed me tight, holding me for a few seconds so that I could feel her body beginning to warm mine. She released me from her embrace, although she still held me within arms length.

‘You look really good today,’ she said looking over my face. ‘It suits you with your hair down like that. Although I like it tied up as well,’ she said smiling.

I blushed at the compliment, but smiled at her, unreservedly glad to see her too.

‘You’ve been very much missed these last few days, and not just by me,’ she said.

I heard the rapid thud of feet from behind her and we both turned to see George emerge explosively from the sitting room.

‘Look George, Lucy’s here.’

I couldn’t help but smile and laugh when he giggled and started jumping on the spot, stamping the floor in excitement.

‘I don’t think he’d say no to some football in the garden,’ she said quietly. ‘Do you fancy entertaining him while I put lunch out?’

She hadn’t said it quietly enough. George had run into the sitting room, retrieved the silver football and was already running towards the back door.

‘Wellies George!’ she shouted after him, looking elated.

We sat round the table after lunch, drinking tea. It was a beautiful day, crisp and sparkling outside with sunlight flooding the kitchen. Karen sat leaning her elbows on the table with a cup in her hand. She had closed her eyes and was basking in the sunlight.

I’d tried to resist it, but I hadn’t been able to stop myself thinking about what Ben had said. I found it difficult not to look at Karen in a different way, having to consider her as a sexual being after Ben’s allegations about her sexuality.

I didn’t find it unpleasant thinking of her in this light. It wasn’t like the adjustment I’d had to make when Peter from work found a girlfriend. I’d found the idea of someone wanting to have sex with him, imagining someone wanting to undress and touch him, nauseating. It had taken a while for me adjust my image of him again, revert him back to his old asexual persona.

She had a beautiful face I thought, looking at her pale, sculptured cheeks in the sunlight. With her eyes closed, she reminded me of an alabaster bust, one where the surface was so smooth that you could hardly resist touching it. Her plump lips were spread in a content smile, enjoying the sunshine. Way, way out my league I thought to myself, amused again at Ben’s concerns.

My eyes ran down her elegant neck and took in the hollow above her collar bone, imagining what it would be like to run my finger along her curves and down her slim chest. She wore a low-cut T-shirt, the top of her breasts rising out of it. I imagined my finger tips running down her chest, over the softness of the top of her breast and down beneath the cup of her bra.
