Half an hour later, I’m about to order another hot chocolate when Jen comes bounding up to the table. She throws her arms around me, and I hug her back.

‘She’ll have a cappuccino,’ I tell the waiter, ‘no chocolate on top.’

‘And she’ll have another hot chocolate,’ Jen tells the waiter. ‘As much whipped cream as you like – she thinks she’s too skinny.’

We grin at each other.

‘Well?’ says Jen. ‘What are you doing in this part of London so early? Did you stay out with someone last night?’ She leans closer.

I look at my hot chocolate. ‘Yes and no,’ I say. ‘I was in hospital.’

‘In hospital?’ Jen’s hand shoots to her mouth. ‘Oh my god, Soph. What happened? Why didn’t you call me?’

‘It was all so quick,’ I say. ‘It was nothing serious, in the end. Ryan put something in my drink, and it gave me a funny turn.’

‘He did what?’ When Jen gets angry, she gets really angry. ‘He put something in your drink? Wait until I get a hold of him.’

‘I know. Total scumbag. But don’t worry. Marc already gave him what for. I imagine he’s suitably chastised. And he won’t be spiking anyone’s drink again.’

‘Wow.’ Jen flicks her blonde hair from shoulder to shoulder. ‘Marc Blackwell stepped in and talked to him? What a great guy. Hey – speaking of which, you’ll never guess what I found out on the PR grapevine.’

‘What?’

Jen leans closer. ‘That sexual scandal about Marc Blackwell? Ropes, paddles and all of that? Well, apparently he’s into a bit of spanking too.’

I nod.

‘Do you think it’s true?’

‘I’m positive it’s true,’ I say.

‘How come?’

Jen’s cappuccino arrives, and I don’t answer for a moment, waiting for the waiter to leave.

Then I whisper, ‘Because he told me.’

‘He told you?’

‘When I was in hospital, he came to see me,’ I say. ‘And he had me transferred to a private place in West London. He got me my own nurse. And he came to visit me there.’

Jen’s eyes grow wider as she picks up her cappuccino.

‘And ... we’ve ... things have happened between us.’

Jen puts her cappuccino back on its saucer with a clatter. ‘Something happened between you and Marc Blackwell!’

‘Shssh!’ I look around. ‘Yes. Something is ... well, happening I guess.’

‘I want to know everything,’ Jen leans closer.

‘It’s ... complicated,’ I say. ‘He’s complicated.’

‘I’ll bet. What with the spanking and everything. Has he done that to you?’

I shake my head. ‘But I think he wants to.’

‘And how do you feel about that?’

‘It’s hard to know what to feel. This is all so new for me – all of this. I’ve never felt this way about anybody, but then there’s all this weird stuff that goes with it. I mean, you know me. I’m hardly experienced in ... well, anything. What if I can’t handle what he wants to do?’

‘Then just say no.’

‘It’s not that simple. He tells me to do something, and I want to do it.’

‘Then what’s the problem?’

‘What if he only likes me because I’m his pupil? What if that’s his thing? I mean, he’s a good person, before you say it.
