Chapter 35

After a tense and silent ride home with her father after work, Hannah stormed up the stairs and slammed her door.

“What’s happened?” Cherie asked Alastair sharply as she sat across from him at dinner. “Why has Hannah gone upstairs?”

“I moved her out of the stockroom, away from that Sullivan boy. She’s furious.” He speared a roasted potato. “She’ll get over it.”

“Don’t be so sure,” Cherie retorted. The phone rang, and she got up to answer it. “Hello, James residence.” There was no immediate response. “Who’s calling, please?”

“It’s Jago. Jago Sullivan. For Hannah,” he added.

“One moment.” Cherie glared at Alastair and went upstairs to knock on Hannah’s door. “You’ve a call.”

Hannah edged the door open. “Who is it?”

“It’s Jago. I didn’t tell your father. When you’ve finished,” Cherie added, “come straight down to dinner.”

“I will,” Hannah promised. She hesitated. “Thanks, mum.”
