‘Maybe it’s the lorry the necklace probably fell off the back of!’ hiccuped the brother-in-law who had drunk the most port.
‘Will you please shut-up, Jeremy?’ demanded his wife.
The front doorbell chimed loudly and Lara’s father frowned again.
‘Not expecting anyone, are you, darling?’
Lara’s mother shook her head. ‘Today? And in this weather? Of course not.’
There was a pause, and Lara was filled with the strangest, giddiest sense of expectation.
‘Better go and answer it, hadn’t you?’ she said, her heart beating so fast that her words sounded strangled.
Both her sisters turned and looked at her, both sets of eyebrows raised in identical sisterly question.
Even the children were silent.
They heard the door open and the sound of Lara’s father speaking to someone, then a low, murmured reply. Ten expectant faces were turned towards the door of the dining room, listening as two pairs of footsteps approached.
‘Wassamatter, Arnie La-La?’ demanded her nephew, and Lara realised that she was gripping onto him very tightly indeed, instinct and a deep sense of hope and longing telling her who the caller might be.
She wanted it to be…but surely it couldn’t…it just couldn’t…
The world stood still and her heart clenched tightly in her chest as she stared straight up into a pair of rueful golden eyes, vaguely aware of her sisters both sitting bolt upright, making twin sounds of disbelief.
Well, she felt a bit like that herself—he looked so gorgeous. Strong and tall and lean as he stood there, just looking at her. She could scarcely think straight and her hands felt clammy.
‘Darian,’ she breathed.
‘Hello, Lara,’ said Darian softly.
