Jon frowns thoughtfully and my heart sinks. I hope he's

not going to come up with a load of pretentious stuff about

his artistic genius. I'm really not in the mood.

"I just ask myself, what would a wanker like?" he says at

last. "And I put it in."

I can't help a half-laugh of shock. "Well, if I were a

wanker I'd love this."

"There you go." He takes a step nearer and lowers his

voice beneath the sound of the water. "So you really haven't

remembered anything?"

"No. Nothing at all."

"Okay." He exhales sharply. "We have to meet. We have

to talk. There's a place we go, the Old Canal House in

Islington." In a much louder voice he adds, "You'll notice

the high ceilings, Lexi. They're a trademark feature of all

our developments." He glances over and catches my expression.

"What?"

"Are you crazy?" I hiss, glancing over to make sure Eric

can't hear. "I'm not meeting you! For your information, I

haven't found a single piece of evidence that you and I are

having an affair. Not one. What a great sense of space!" I

add at full volume.

"Evidence?" Jon looks as if he doesn't understand. "Like

what?"

"Like... I don't know. A love note."

"We didn't write each other love notes."

"Or trinkets."

"Trinkets?" Jon looks like he wants to laugh. "We

weren't much into trinkets, either."

"Well, it couldn't have been much of a love affair, then!"

I retort. "I've looked in my dressing table—nothing. I

looked in my diary—nothing. I asked my sister—she'd

never even heard of you."

"Lexi." He pauses as though working out how to explain

the situation to me. "It was a secret affair. That would

mean an affair that you keep secret"

"So you have no proof. I knew it."

I turn on my heel and stride away toward the fireplace,

Jon following closely behind.

"You want proof?" I can hear him muttering in low, incredulous

tones. "What, like... you have a strawberry

mark on your left buttock?"

"I don't—" I swivel around in triumph, then stop abruptly

as Eric glances across the room at us. "I don't know how you

came up with this amazing use of light!" I wave at Eric, who

waves back and continues his conversation.

"I know you don't have a birthmark on your buttock."

Jon rolls his eyes. "You don't have any birthmarks at all.

Just a mole on your arm."

I'm briefly silenced. He's right. But so what?

"That could be a lucky guess." I fold my arms.

"I know. But it's not." He looks at me steadily. "Lexi, I'm

not making it up. We're having an affair. We love each

other. Deeply and passionately."

"Look." I thrust my hands through my hair. "This is

just... mad! I wouldn't have an affair. Not with you or anyone.

I've never been unfaithful to anybody in my life—"

"We had sex on that floor four weeks ago," he cuts me

off. "Right there." He nods at a huge fluffy white sheepskin.

I stare at it speechlessly.

"You were on top," he adds.

"Stop it!" Flustered, I wheel around and stride away

toward the far end of the space, where a trendy Lucite staircase

rises to a mezzanine level.

"Let's take a look at the wet room complex," Jon says

loudly as he follows me up.
