Giles got to his feet and put his arms around her. Sweetie pie.
Willow s lips quivered.
There is nothing going on between Flick and me. The woman is crazy. She flirts
like mad. Maybe she knew I was nearby when she was with my father and she wanted
me to think they were having an affair. Maybe that lunge she made for me at the dinner
party and the fact that I was a little slow to avoid her lips, made her think there was
something between us. There isn t. Now she makes up some fantastic story about being
kidnapped and expects to be believed. The truth is she s so loopy she probably forgot
Beck had arranged to go round.
Maybe she told the truth, Willow said in a quiet voice. Kirsten and Josh believe
her about last night. Flick s spoken to the police.
Naked women playing darts or even football couldn t have held more interest than
Willow at that moment. Both men stared at her.
Beck had paled. What are you talking about? The police? What happened?
Kirsten doesn t know much, Willow said. Flick won t talk about it.
They waited. Willow knew if a guy had said that to them, they would probably
have expected no more information and turned back to the TV, but now they expected
her to tell them everything.
Kirsten said two men abducted Flick from outside Yorkshire Television Center
and took her to Headingley. They asked her questions about some people she used to
know. They didn t hurt her but they dumped her afterwards and she had to walk back
to her car. She told the police everything. That s all I know so it s no use looking at me
like that.
Beck s still better off without her, Giles said. And so are you. I can t begin to
imagine what she d get up to on your hen night.
Willow chose her words with care. I think Flick would be fun.

Giles glared at her and mouthed a curse. Willow felt her stomach turn into a hard
lump. Maybe Giles intended to see Flick the night of her hen party. Maybe Flick had
told the truth all along and it was Giles who d lied.
She s trouble, sweetheart, Giles said.
Maybe it isn t Flick who s the trouble at all, Willow muttered. She d send a text
message to Kirsten and tell her Flick could come on the hen night because she d decided
while she could see her, Giles was safe.
Beck felt like he had early onset dementia. Flick hadn t lied. She d actually been
abducted and when she d told him, he d walked away. How about instead of believing
the worst about her, he did the opposite and trusted her? Giles had got pissed and
leaped on her, she and Henry were nothing more than friends, and she hadn t stood
him up, she d been kidnapped. It wasn t that difficult to believe, she had the craziest life
of anyone he d ever met. She d tried to talk to him and he d refused to listen. Beck
groaned.
It also hadn t escaped Beck s attention that Giles kept lying to Willow about the
kiss. Did Giles have a grudge against Flick because she d rejected him? Or was he
plotting to get X off his list before he was married? One thing Beck was sure of he
wanted to believe Flick.

Digging Deeper
Chapter Twenty-Three
Flick wondered how she d let herself get talked into this. Well, she knew exactly
how. When Kirsten told her Willow wanted her to come on the hen night to make up
for not believing her about Giles and Henry, Flick had wavered. When Kirsten said
Beck would drive them in the minivan and that he felt terrible because he hadn t
trusted her, the wavering slowed. When Flick realized she wouldn t actually have to ski
and she could ask Beck to go for a drink so they could talk, the wavering stopped.
Only now she wondered if they d both been set up because Willow had done a
good imitation of Jack Frost when she and Kirsten had climbed in the van. Flick sat
directly behind Beck who d not said a word the whole journey, apart from hello
when he d collected her and Kirsten, and another hello when he picked up the others.
Flick went off the idea of risking more rejection and decided she d have to ski. Only as
she d listened to the three bridesmaids talking about their last trip to Lech, she d grown
more and more nervous. Apparently, watching other people fall over was the highlight
of the day.
Can you ski, Flick? Willow asked, her coolness unmistakable.
Not very well, she said. Like not at all.
You ll be fine. It s easy. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
