Jill brushed her blonde hair back from her face and wondered what he was thinking. William Phillips was an attractive man in so many ways, but he had suffered enough. If he gave her the chance, she would promise him one thing, there would be no more secrets, no more lies.
‘Here’s to Rose Phillips,’ Kevin lifted his glass and threw back the fizzy contents of the champagne flute. He had never tasted champagne before, but he thought he could acquire a taste for it.
‘To Rose Phillips!’ the small crowd chorused as they lifted their glasses in the air even though half the people there had no idea who Rose Phillips was.
‘And here’s to Rhoda and Edi Blake, let's not forget them. May they also rest in eternal peace,’ Kevin raised his glass again.
Kevin had already noticed the small, round red stickers on some of his paintings and Jill Brennan was buzzing around the gallery looking very pleased with herself.
Kevin walked up to William Phillips and looked him straight in the eye. ‘If it wasn’t for your mother, I wouldn’t be here today,’ he said quietly.
‘If it wasn’t for my mother, I wouldn’t be who I am today,’ William replied.
