. sam hovered on the door step ." hallo , minty , i can't stop " congratulations again on the job ." i had the presence of mind to say .
he frowned " bit of a poisoned chalice ." he said ." i'm up herre to sort out the fional details ."
" has jilly decided to go with you "
"i'm working on it ."
i thought of poppy's request . " is there  anything i can do ?"
"actually ,  no . we'll  sort something out ." he smiled to take away the sting ." nice of you to offer ."
the tanks had been closed , and i took the hint . i did not feel could do or say any more - which constited  a tick for failure  and a cross for endeavor . sam said  good bbye , and i led rose into the house .
she followed me into the kitchen and placed her handbag . on the table . she was dressed  in jeans ,  a skinny . t-shirt , and a blaxck cardigan that made her arms  appear even  more slende than they are ." i'm not sure what to say . minty . i'm not  sure i'm here  ." she had her back to me ." but i think  i'm doing this to nathan ."
the boyss were  summoned  from their bedroom , which they were in tthe process of dimantling . lucas was wearing his green trousers  , and felix  his blue socks . " boys . you remember mrs . lloyd ."
" just rose ." she held out a hand ." hallo . lucas ? good , i guessed right  this time . hallo  , felix ."
a burst of wind rattled at the car flap . chunk . it was , as  always an cerie sound , a shadow passed over rose's face  .
" that 's the cat's door ." said felix .
"do you have a car ?" asked rose .
