Karren was sitting on the bed and made to rise, but I halted her with a gesture. That cheered me up, so I gave her a twirl, and blew her a kiss, just as a joke. In fact, we could have a lot of good times together.’
Angela looked amazed, and her eyes darted back and forth between our two smiling faces. I gave it a quick glance and was greatly relieved to see that it seemed to be undamaged, for it was a new and expensive model which I had acquired only two days before. As Dominica began to mount the staircase, Karren took my hand and led me into the lounge, and we sat down together on the long couch. We cannoned into each other and bounced off, with me going sideways to bump my shoulder rather painfully against the wall, whilst Angela – who had been walking much more briskly than me, and so was caught even more off-balance – sprawled nearly full-length onto the floor, but just managed to catch herself on her hands and knees.
