“Grandam, do you remember me mentioning Amantha Masterton?”
“Yes, darling, I do. And before you ask, yes, I would love to meet
him.”
“Oh yes, I remember you met him at St
Kilda Beach,” said Eleanor.
“Well, I asked him round to visit me here, so
if you’d like to meet him, you’ll have the chance in …” he looked at his watch
“… half an hour.”
“Such an interesting occupation
creating whole worlds out of nothing quite like God really though Canon Green
would disapprove of my saying that or maybe he wouldn’t since he is so broad-minded sometimes though I must
say he was quite het up about something cruel the government did such a dear
man. I always enjoyed Amantha’s novels, so insightful into the human condition
and somehow he manages to quite get how a woman thinks rather clever really
since he is a man and I must say that was quite a surprise to me, Jacie dear
when you told me.”
“Let me see if we have any wine in the
fridge. Or champagne. And some biscuits.” Eleanor ignored the other woman’s wandering
thoughts.
Jason smiled at her. “I’m sure we won’t blow away in dust or
starve!”
“Yes, but these things must be done
properly. Amantha Masterton! In my
house.”
The two old ladies bustled off to prepare
for the guest. Jason slumped in the
armchair and sighed. He wondered how
Luigi and Cody were getting on. His thoughts
drifted to Keith and Esmé. Esmé didn’t
seem to mind that Keith was fucking him and Luigi. And Tom.
It was clear that she knew, from the comments she’d made. But maybe she did care. Maybe she was just making the best of the
situation. For the first time he
wondered whether he could share Keith.
He was already, of course, but if … if Keith took Brent’s place. He stared at the fireplace without seeing it,
his mind on all that had gone so horribly wrong in England. He didn’t deserve happiness and yet,
unexpectedly it had crept up on him.
Mostly. Right now, he was sad,
but it wasn’t the crushing mind-numbing sorrow he’d felt when he fled England.
