‘Course I am. I’ll carry that. And don’t forget your roses.’

‘Have your meal on me,’ he said pressing a note into her hand. ‘Bye then.’
‘Bye love. And thanks again for your part in all this.’
‘Are you ready then, Mrs Jenkins?’
‘I’m more than ready, Mr Jenkins.’
They walked along the road and through the little alleyway to their flat.
