. she gave a little laugh ." well , as little as possible . did i tell you he's been promoted again ? so have i , in a modest way ." the printer choked , interrupting her ." oh god , i must go . i'm trying to print out a delivery note to go with a huge order of christmas candles from liberty's and the printer keeps jamming . will you let me know as soon as possible ?"
through the open door , i caught sight of felix sticking out his leg and lucas go sprawling over it . i switched my gaze back to the kitchen . if nathan was sitting at the table with me , he would say : she's my daughter . and i must help .
i took a deep breath . "i'm worried you're in trouble . poppy . would you like to talk things over sometime ?"
"no...' and her panicky voice convinced me that i was right ." it 's none of your business ."
are you sure ?"
poppy turned hostile ."i'am absolutely sure , thank you , minty . could we leave it now? pklease . "
"i'll ask theo to get in touch with you ."
i terminated the call and went to say hallo to the the twins , who occupied me for the next couple of hours . but i was trouble by my conversasion with poppy .
later , coming downstairs , my eye lit on a vase of dying irise in the hall , i carried them into the kitche and emptied the water , which smelled disgusting . by mistake , i dropped one of irises onto the floor and scrubbed at it with a tissue , which disintegrated , wearily , i got to my feet to fetch the dustpan and pain flickered in my knees . that made me smil . nathan had married me because he thought i would make him young again . but instead i had grown older .
