me.”
    “Sensible chap,” Cody said, grinning.
    Zac frowned. “So you’ll have to be up and down to London?”
    “No, I can handle it all online, and I have, or should I say had, an assistant who still works for Jason and can deal with the hands-on stuff.” Justine smiled as she thought of loyal Sasha, her only true ally against Jason. Everyone else in the place thought the sun shone from his backside. Justine grimaced when she thought how, until recently, she’d been their head cheerleader, blind to Jason’s very obvious character defects because she’d been so grateful to be noticed by him.
    “So you’ll have to give them this number, is that what you’re saying?” Zac asked.
    “Yes, they have my cell, but reception doesn’t seem to be much good down here.”
    “It’s patchy,” Cody agreed.
    “Okay,” Zac said. “I don’t see a problem with that.”
    “Good, then we have a deal.”
    “You ready to go back to town?” Cody asked. “There’s a garage in the village. We can drop Malcolm off there and I’ll drive you to… Where are we going?”
    “Clapham.”
    “Okay. It has a common, right?”
    “That’s one of its few claims to fame. That and being close to the centre of London, with relatively cheap rents. Talking of which.” Justine scowled. “How long are you employing me for? Should I give up my flat?”
    “Don’t see any point in keeping it,” Zac said.
    “Easy for you to say. Flats with affordable rents are rarer than chocolate teapots.”
    “There’s plenty to keep you busy down here for the foreseeable future.”
    “What if it doesn’t work out?”
    “Make it work.”
    “Just like that?”
    Zac shrugged. “Life’s a constant string of risks, and you look like the type who’s prepared to take a flyer, so live dangerously.”
    Justine gazed first at Zac, his expression unsmiling but sincere, and then Cody. He seemed enthusiastic for her to move in right away.
    “Okay,” she said. “Come on, Cody, let’s go get my life packed up.”

    “You really did mean to move in right away,” Justine said, laughing. “I thought maybe you’d take my stuff and I’d come down in a day or two.”
    “Why? Got something you need to do?”
    She shrugged. “No, not really.”
    “Well, then.” Cody put his muscles to good use, helping Justine to load her belongings and lugging them down the two flights of stairs to his car parked in the closest free space, about half a mile away. “Don’t mean to be rude,” he added, glancing round her rather-cramped living space when he returned for a fourth load, “but I don’t see anything to keep you here. If we hurry, we can be back in Surrey before dark.”
    “I guess you have a point.”
    Justine took pleasure in writing out her notice and posting it, along with the key, to the landlord. She’d paid a month’s deposit and was only required to give a month’s notice, so that was that. Good-bye, Clapham. Hello, new life. This flat, small and squalid though it was, would be snapped up by some desperate person in no time at all, probably at a higher rent than she’d managed to negotiate.
    Cody drove with swift efficiency, and they were soon back on the narrow road where this whole adventure had started just a few brief hours before. It seemed like a lifetime.
    “No regrets?” Cody asked.
    “None at all. It feels like it’s supposed to be, although I was surprised to get the job.” She glanced at him. “I guess I have you to thank for that.”
    “I put in a good word, is all.” Cody shrugged. “Zac’s been interviewing for three weeks now. He’s fussy, in case you didn’t notice.”
    “Which is why I’m surprised he employed me.”
    “Don’t put yourself down, sweetheart.”
    “I’m not, I just—”
    “Today was the third lot of applicants.”
    “I filled in the application three weeks ago.” She grimaced. “I obviously made a real good impression.”
    “The agency pushed what they thought were
