what Mum’s views would have been on the subject,” she said quietly.

“Didn’t you even sound her out, speaking in general terms?”

Fliss shook her head and Petra tsked.

“Mum was pretty liberal I would have said. At least that’s how I remember her.”

But Petra had been little more than a child when their mother died. And Fliss had never had the courage to talk to their mother about it. The one opportunity she’d had she’d let slip by.

“Well, this is the here and now.” Petra drew Fliss back from the past. “So, are we going to talk about it? I really think we should.

You need to let it out, Fliss. You’ve bottled it up inside too long.”

“We don’t really have time for this.” Fliss looked up at the mantel clock. “I do have to get to work.”

“No, you don’t. I rang Marcus while the jug was boiling and he’s going to open the gallery and look after it till you get there. So we have plenty of time.”

Fliss sipped her tea, twisted the bone china mug in her hands, studied the intricate pattern of interwoven violets that decorated it.

“Was she just a schoolgirl crush?” Petra probed and Fliss slowly shook her head.

“No. She wasn’t just a crush. I could almost wish she was.”

Petra was silent for a moment. “Was it just Bailey Macrae or do you think you’re really a lesbian?”

Fliss shifted uncomfortably on the sofa again. Why was it so difficult to admit? To say I am a lesbian? It was part of her make-up, the very essence of her and it would never change. She took a deep breath. “Yes. To both questions. I was in love with Bailey Macrae and I am a lesbian.”

She’d said the words aloud, it was out in the open. Fliss fancied she felt a huge weight lift off her chest.

“There you are then,” Petra remarked matter-of-factly. “And the sky hasn’t fallen in.”
