People like Roger and me aren\u2019t good enough for you now, not when someone as famous as Dominic Tempest shows an interest. Don\u2019t worry, Charles,\u2019 John added insolently as the butler took a step towards him. \u2018I\u2019m just leaving.\u2019 \u2018I think that would be as well, sir,\u2019 the butler agreed stiffly. \u2018Don\u2019t bother to show me out, I know the way.\u2019 John slammed out of the front door. Alexandra looked at the butler shyly.<\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you for your help. I don\u2019t know what I would have done without you. I\u2019m afraid Mr Davies had too much to drink.\u2019 \u2018Yes, miss. If you\u2019ll excuse me,\u2019 and Charles turned away. \u2018Oh, Charles, I\u2014I shall be moving back to my sister\u2019s house tomorrow.\u2019 He nodded. \u2018Young Mr Tempest did inform me of that earlier. Do you wish anything else tonight, miss?\u2019 \u2018Er\u2014no, thank you. Goodnight, Charles.\u2019 \u2018Goodnight, Miss Paige.\u2019 Alexandra tidied up the lounge before going up to her room.<\/p>\n

\u2018Young\u2019 Mr Tempest, Charles had called Trevor, and she supposed he was, but Dominic certainly didn\u2019t seem old to her. Tonight they had passed the point of antagonists, and now she had to wait and see how he felt about her when he returned. But whatever he felt for her she knew she would never dislike him again. Perhaps her dislike of him had always been a shield over what she had secretly felt for him, she hadn\u2019t disliked him at all until\u2014 But that wasn\u2019t important now, her shield was well and truly down and she didn\u2019t think it would be up again.<\/p>\n

But Dominic had flown away into danger, unable to tell her where he was going. And she had no way of knowing when he would be back, if he would be back. She knew that the filming and research of his current affairs programme often involved danger, wars and revolutions being dangerous even to the uninvolved press.<\/p>\n

Gail sighed, despairing of her young sister\u2019s manners.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you mean Dominic then say so,\u2019 she said disapprovingly, moving into the kitchen. \u2018All right. Is Dominic coming to lunch again?\u2019 \u2018Well, as he always comes on a Sunday when he\u2019s at home it\u2019s a natural assumption to make.\u2019 She turned the vegetables down on the cooker. \u2018Now if you\u2019ve nothing better to do perhaps you would like to get out the wine glasses.<\/p>\n

It was your turn to cook lunch today,\u2019 she added sternly. \u2018Where did you disappear to so quickly after breakfast?\u2019 \u2018I met Roger.\u2019 Alexandra rubbed the wine glasses to a fine shine before placing them in the appropriate places on the table, a slight smile curving her lips as she thought of the man she loved.<\/p>\n

Her sister frowned. \u2018You seem to do little else lately.\u2019 \u2018Well, if you would let me marry him I wouldn\u2019t need to keep going to his parents\u2019 house, we could be together all the time.\u2019 \u2018You\u2019re too young to get married,\u2019 Gail stated emphatically. \u2018You\u2019re seventeen years old and you only left school six months ago. You\u2019ve only really known Roger four months.\u2019 \u2018Oh, that isn\u2019t true! We\u2019ve lived in this area for years and I\u2019ve known Roger all of that time.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alexandra placed the wine in the refrigerator to chill. \u2018We\u2019ve lived in this house approximately three years, and two and a half years of that time you were away at boarding-school.\u2019 Gail shook her head at her sister\u2019s obstinacy, knowing that pouting look of old. But in the case of Alexandra marrying she was adamant. Besides, Roger was only twenty himself. They were both much too young to know their own minds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
