      ‘We do not need your charity. Thank you very much.’ Anna came up behind Diane, her fists twitching with anger. ‘Come on, Dee, let’s go. I don’t need to be patronised. We’re both better than that.’

      ‘I’d say,’ agreed the young man at the back.

      Anna caught Horatio’s eye. He was sitting at the far end of the bar, nursing a glass of red and laughing. He was always laughing at her. ‘Come on, Dee, I don’t have time for this.’

      ‘Aw, come on, John wasn’t trying to be funny. I’m Tom, by the way.’ The tallest of the group thrust his hand forward and Anna obligingly shook it. ‘Let’s all just have a few drinks. No harm in that, is there?’

      John had gone pink. ‘Sorry, I thought you’d like that, ladies.’

      Anna sighed and smiled. ‘It was a nice thought.’

      ‘Look,’ John said, ‘to make amends, first round is on the house.’

      They ordered their drinks and then all piled into one of the booths. Anna and Diane sat opposite each other and, as they grew increasingly tipsy, Anna was no longer sure if she was nudging her friend’s leg to get Diane’s attention, or if she was playing footsy with one of the men.

      Diane had taken a real liking to the youngest.

      ‘Twenty-three, you say,’ Diane said, moving her face closer to the man on her left. ‘Your name’s Larry? Wonderful,’ she gushed as if he had just told her he performed surgery on the poor up desolate mountains. ‘I love the name Larry.’

      Anna, meanwhile, chatted to Lee, a farmhand on Richard’s farm. However, while she was desperate to get more information on Richard, Lee was more interested in passing on all his knowledge about marmosets.

      ‘What? As in the monkey?’ She laughed. ‘That’s your passion?’

      ‘Yeah, love ‘em.’

      ‘Right, well, does Richard talk to you about marmosets?’ She would discuss anything with Richard and even marmosets appealed.

      ‘No, he doesn’t get it.’

      That was the first thing Richard and Anna had in common. She imagined Lee delivering a speech at their wedding. ‘Richard and Anna often laughed at my love of marmosets and I’d like to think that’s what drove them together.’
