Better to pretend she had imagined everything, put all this in the same bag as childhood memories: scenes of abandonment, two illustrations in twenty minutes, dogging her steps with nightmares as she dragged up the street to her own door, ringing the bell, nothing worse than being left, go home, cling to it: there is nothing outside.

He kissed her lightly, plucked Jeremy out of the pushchair and turned indoors, holding out the other hand to Jeanetta. When she ignored it, he placed his arm round the shoulders of his wife and drew her in. He smelt sharply of the shower, expensive soap, conspicuous cleanliness: there was about him the aura of physical power which had drawn her always, pleasure to see her so obvious, along with concern. ‘What’s the matter, darling? You look tired.’
