Rae stormed into the living room, switched the light on and threw her jacket on the sofa. Callum entered behind her and she spun around in a fury. ‘Do you know how humiliating that was for me? Flirting with Candice in front of me.’

‘Oh don’t be so dramatic, Rae. We were just having a good time.’

‘A good time! You call having someone literally throw themselves at you like a cheap whore, a good time?’

Callum threw back his head and laughed. ‘That’s not a nice way to speak about her.’

‘Well it’s bloody true. And why did you take her phone number?’

Callum shrugged. ‘To be polite. I threw it away as soon as we left the restaurant.’ He caught Rae in his arms as she walked past him and drew her in by her waist. ‘Hey, I think I like this feisty jealous side of you.’

His excitement grew as he pressed against her, but sex was the last thing on her mind. No one had ever made her feel so insignificant. Not even Greg, which was saying something.

‘Don’t, Callum.’

‘I can’t help it.’ He nuzzled her neck. ‘You’re very sexy like this.’

Rae disentangled herself from his arms and took a step back. ‘If you like Candice so much why don’t you ask her out on a date? I’m sure she’d jump at the chance.’

‘Don’t project your insecurities onto the poor girl. There’s nothing wrong with a young woman being footloose and fancy free. Maybe you should invite her round more often. She certainly adds a bit of life to the place doesn’t she?’

Rae narrowed her eyes. ‘And what do I do? Sour the mood?’

‘Those are your words, not mine. Is this how you used to behave with your ex-husband? Having to control everything?’

‘Oh, so now I’m a control freak,’ she said throwing her arms up in the air.

Callum’s features lost all signs of humour. ‘No, you’re a fucking kill joy, that’s what you are.’ He picked up his jacket and slipped his arms into it. ‘What would you prefer, that I was rude and miserable over dinner? No doubt if I had been, you’d be having a go at me about that instead.’

He shook his head and walked towards the door.

‘Where’re you going?’ There was panic in Rae’s voice.

‘As far away from you as possible,’ he snapped.

Rae ran after him and grabbed hold of his jacket from behind. She tugged at it, trying to slow down his pace. ‘Come on, don’t be silly. Why does every argument end up with you wanting to leave? Can’t we ever just agree to disagree like the adults we are? We’re supposed to be going to Scotland in the morning.’

Callum roughly shrugged off Rae’s hand. ‘I’ll be back to pick you up then.’ He continued towards the door and slammed it behind him as he left.

Rae slumped against the wall and stared blankly at the door. Tears stung her eyes then tumbled carelessly down her cheeks.
