looking at him, she also remembered how cold he was when he’d told her it was over.
    â€˜Yes we were good together, but that was then,’ she told him. ‘Now I’m not interested. You were just an experience!’
    How good it had made her feel to see the anger in his eyes just before she walked away from him, feeling triumphant at his discomfort. Nevertheless, knowing all this didn’t stop that small part of her wanting him still. Now he was working his charm on the young girl working in the haberdashery department. A mere child! Should she have a quiet word with her? Warn her that John was a known philanderer? She tried to put herself in the girl’s place. If someone had done that to her at the time, she knew it wouldn’t have made any difference. This man had too much charisma, and this girl wasn’t as worldly at her young age, but she knew eventually John would tire of the girl and move on. He always did. She turned away as a customer approached her.
    Towards the end of the day, John stopped by Connie’s counter and quietly said, ‘Meet me in the park by the big rockery. I’ve missed you so much, I need to see you,’ and he walked away. She didn’t have a chance to answer so she felt obliged to do as he asked. She thought if she did see him, it would help her decide what to do in the future. She didn’t want to risk losing her new boyfriend, but John only had to touch her and she felt helpless. He was the first man she’d slept with, and somehow that felt almost as if she was bound to him in some way.
    After leaving work, she walked slowly to the park, her mind in turmoil. Common sense told her to stop this liaison, it could only end in tears, someone would end up getting hurt, so was it worth the risk? Yet she still remembered how John made her feel when, in Bournemouth, he took her to bed and introduced her to sex. She’d loved to feel his hands, his mouth on her body. It had been an amazing experience, and if she was honest, she wanted it again and again. The very fact that it was illicit only added to the excitement of it all. How wicked was that, she thought. But at the same time it was rather delicious! She waited.
    John arrived shortly after and, taking her by the hand, led her to a bench behind the rockery which hid them from sight of any passers-by. He took her into his arms and kissed her hungrily.
    â€˜God!’ he muttered. ‘You feel so good.’ And he kissed her again.
    Connie lost herself to all the physical sensations that flooded through her. Oh, it felt so good to be in his arms again, and she wished they were in a bedroom somewhere where they could take this further. She closed her eyes as he caressed her and kissed her again and again. All doubts left her. She couldn’t let him go, she couldn’t!
    In the Chapel area of the town, Sam was facing his own problems. Someone had tried to break into the garage overnight. The locks had been tampered with, and there were marks on the door where, fortunately, it had withstood whatever tool had been used to try and force it open. He and his men had no doubt who was at the root of all this. The thing now was – what to do about it?
    â€˜We can go round there mob-handed and break their bloody legs,’ raged Harry.
    â€˜Cool down, for goodness’ sake,’ Sam urged. ‘We have no proof it was Jake and his boys, and anyway that wouldn’t solve anything and would only get us into trouble with the law. We have to think of something constructive.’
    â€˜Well, I suggest we move the car to a different venue – under cover, of course. Let them believe it’s here. At least that will give us a place of safety, because it’s obvious this isn’t any more,’ Tom said.
    â€˜Got anywhere in mind?’ Sam asked.
    â€˜As a matter of fact I have. A mate of mine has an empty garage in Shirley. We could hire that from him.’
    â€˜Would he
