Mim spooned the rice pudding into two bowls and set them down on the table before dolloping a spoonful of strawberry jam in the middle of hers. She passed the jar to Anna-Lisa.

‘Thanks, chick. So did you ever find out what happened with Honey and Rick?’ she asked.

‘Nope, no idea. And I don’t want to know. I’ve moved on and I’ve wasted too much energy thinking about him; it just used to make me feel rubbish about myself and set me back.’

Anna-Lisa gave her a sympathetic look. ‘Don’t blame you; he’s not worth making you feel like that. And he was punching way above his weight anyway. All your boyfriends that I’ve seen have been; present one included.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘You sell yourself short. Big time. Always have done.’

Mim thought for a moment, casting her mind back over her dating history. She hadn’t had many boyfriends, but even she could see they all shared similarities, not just in looks but in attitude as well; they all displayed the same swaggering disregard for her feelings. And each and every relationship had ended in the same painful way, with her being taken for a mug and cheated on. Still, she thought, it didn’t mean that they’d been, as Anna put it “punching above their weight”, it was just that she had a habit of choosing men who weren’t exactly suited to her.

‘But that’s hardly the case with Caspar; it’s more like the other way round,’ Mim said. ‘Even you have to admit, someone like him is way out of my league. I honestly don’t know what he sees in me.’ Her thoughts swept to Anna and Aidey’s warning about him sniffing around Clarissa, then to seeing Caspar leaving Clarissa’s office, his air of coolness towards her. It was glaringly obvious that a woman as stunningly beautiful and as classy as Clarissa was so much better suited to him than raggle-taggle Mim. No wonder he wanted to keep their relationship under wraps; he knew what the reaction would be if folk found out as well as she did. They’d laugh in disbelief, and say that it was Mim who was punching above her weight. Of that she was certain.

Anna gave Mim a stern look. ‘It so isn’t the other way round. He’s the one who’s punching, not you. And you need to keep that in mind, my girl.’

‘What do you mean?’

Anna shrugged. ‘Just that feeling he gives me I keep telling you about; call it women’s intuition. But promise me you’ll not be totally blinded by him; if you ever get a little niggle – no matter how tiny – you must listen to it. Don’t let that heart of yours rule your head like it usually does. Promise me, Mim.’ She was looking at her so intently, Mim found it slightly unsettling.

‘Okay, I promise.’

‘Good, I’ll hold you to that. Now, on a more palatable subject, is there any more of that rice pudding left?’

‘There is.’

‘Then what are you waiting for?’
