She moved over to the Aga and tested the weight of the kettle, shifting it onto the hottest plate, reaching for the big brown teapot. Dizzy was already chattering to Bisto, flirting, telling him how she’d make the most of his lovely curls by layering the cut and how she’d like to leave him with a bit of hunky designer stubble.

She breathed out slowly. Everyone else’s conversation seemed so silly, so superficial. So why was she feeling left out and unwanted?
