‘I feel like an idiot... a total, absolute idiot!’ Griff complained for the third time. ‘Every one of my partners is sniggering behind his hands. So what did happen in that blasted container between the two of you? I have a right to know!’

‘The same way I have the right to know who was with you the night of my birthday?’ As soon as she said it she regretted it. Griff was very handsome but suddenly, betrayed by his fair skin, he looked like a guilty beetroot that had been stabbed unexpectedly in the back by a pickle fork.

‘Well, I... I don’t know what you’re talking about! I was working that night.’

He lied so badly that she was embarrassed for him. Why was he being so possessive all of a sudden? Why was it that even an unfaithful man suddenly hung on like grim death when he sensed that you were ready to break it off? It crossed her mind that Rico hadn’t hung on...Rico had been off like an Olympic sprinter... Only good manners had made him let her out of the door in front of him.

‘OK.’ Griff heaved a constricted sigh. ‘Guilty...but it was only a flirtation... I was tempted, that’s all. Unforgivable, I know, on your birthday—’

‘Don’t you think that date was subconsciously chosen to hurt most?’

He looked blankly back at her. She was too clever for him, could practically tell him what he was about to say before he parted his lips, and whatever had been between them had evaporated entirely on her side. She decided to let him off the hook.

‘Look, it doesn’t matter, does it? We’re finished. Good friends still, I hope,’ she stressed gently. ‘But that’s all, Griff.’

‘I didn’t sleep with her!’ He startled her by surging across Liz’s tiny lounge with an amount of emotion she would never have expected from a male usually so cool and controlled. ‘And I’m sorry; I’ll never do it again,’ he swore, grasping both her hands.

He had slept with that other woman. She could tell, but it was not her place, after what had happened with Rico, to stand in pious judgement.

‘Let’s go out to dinner somewhere very public,’ he urged tautly. ‘You have to come out of hiding some time. Da Silva’s “no comment” is beginning to fall pretty hard on my ears! You’re my girlfriend, for God’s sake, but all that trash in the tabloids and your disappearance is giving everyone the idea... well, that you’ve got something to be ashamed of!’
