Chapter Twenty-Two

‘It’s Aiden Trevellyan.’

Rose’s eyes widened, colour flooding into her cheeks, and she turned her back on her colleague. ‘Oh! Hi. Did you want Morgan? She left about ten minutes ago, and—’

‘I – er – no. I have her mobile.’

Of course he does, you idiot. Rose bit her lip. Play it cool, stop acting like a schoolgirl with a crush.

‘I just wondered – well, you seemed quite interested in the Lopen dig. I have some great photos on my laptop; if you wanted to – well, I mean – I don’t expect you’re free, but—’

‘I’m free. When? I mean, did you mean today?’ Yes. Very cool. How old are you?

‘Yes. I have some time to kill before my train; I wondered if you fancied meeting after work?’

Rose sighed; no chance to go home and get into something sophisticated and try to improve her unruly hair, then. She shrugged; sophisticated wasn’t a word she could apply to the wardrobe she had inspected the other day. ‘No. I mean yes, of course. I leave at five – now, in fact.’

‘Good. Excellent.’ He cleared his throat. ‘I – well, I’ll be waiting outside.’
