Joe gave the matter due consideration. ‘On reflection I think I prefer peaceful silence to incessant chattering.’
‘You wait until the journey home,’ she said, giggling.
‘Do that again!’
‘What?’
‘The girly little laugh. But first,’ he added hastily, as she glared at him, ‘tell me what you want and I’ll fetch it for you.’
She snatched up a tray. ‘No need. I can get my own.’
There was an argument when Joe insisted on paying for her toast and coffee, but in the end Fen gave in rather than provide more entertainment for the girl at the cash register.
‘I asked you out, so I foot the bill,’ he said flatly, as they sat down by a window.
She buttered her toast, frowning at him. ‘Look, Joe, I’m perfectly able to pay my own way.’
He drank some coffee, his eyes gleaming at her through the steam. ‘OK. You can pay for lunch.’
Great. It would serve her right if he fancied a three-course meal in some expensive hotel. ‘I wasn’t being difficult,’ she said belatedly, remembering she had good cause to be grateful to him. ‘I just like to be independent.’
His smile disarmed her completely. ‘No offence taken. But if you’re paying for lunch I’ll treat you to another coffee.’
‘Where are we going?’ Fen asked, on the way back to the car.
‘If you stay awake for the rest of the journey I’ll tell you when we’re nearly there,’ Joe promised.
She gave him a warning look as she fastened her seatbelt. ‘Tell me now, or I don’t pay for lunch.’
He laughed. ‘I never intended you to.’
She ground her teeth in frustration. ‘Has anyone ever told you that you’re an infuriating man, Joe Tregenna?’
‘Frequently, but they invariably succumb to my charm in the end,’ he said smugly, and drove off to rejoin the motorway.
