I miss Nicky badly too, are you going to let me see him some time soon?’ Brad asked trying to keep his voice calm. ‘Yes, Nicky needs to see you. C...n you promise ‘Tanaya won’t do anything to him or do anything that could cause him harm?’ Janey asked with an edge to her voice. ‘Janey I promise you that I will be with Nicky all the time and anyone, anyone I think might be a danger to him won’t be allowed near him,’ Brad said earnestly. Ren watched as Brad waited with baited breath for a response. What's the chance of having dinner tonight?" Dinner, as in Dinner, or Dinner and... ?" I'd like to go for the and if you can manage it." Tell you what, Helen, meet me at the Hotel Quai Voltaire. We'll have the night." Great! You know I love that place. Get a front room so we can watch the Bateaux Mouches. What time?" When will you arrive?" Helen gave him an estimate. "I'll be there by then. See you."She hung up and, pulling her carry-on, walked to the corner of Cromwell Road to hail a cab to. " I'm so sorry to hear that," she mocked. "How thoughtless of me to buy thewrong size. What else have you worn that belongs to me?"Again he hesitated considering how to reply. Emma detested this delay."You're working out what lie you can get away with, aren't you?" No, Emma! Honestly, I'm not. I'm just thinking. Er... I've worn yourtights!" So, when I'm not here you usually mince around the house wearing mypanties, bra and tights. Is that right?" Yes ... no! You're getting me confused, Emma. I. "This Sue is going to do whatever she can to turn your existence into a living hell. Your best bet is to get out of here without leaving a forwarding address."I found Helen's suggestion far too radical. Wouldn't a quick departure on the quiet look like an admission of guilt? We hadn't done anything we needed to be ashamed of. Why should we run away from Sue and her twisted value system? I preferred to wait and see how things would develop rather than take any precipitous action we might regret.
