Chapter Nine
Comforting Love
The two women sat in the dining area of the kitchen chatting. A complete contrast. Carol in her tight jeans and white heels, Edith in her business suit in dark blue. They did not even turn to look at Simon when he entered but continued chatting as he poured the wine.

“Have you thought about her nails?”
Edith cast a glance over at Simon and shrugged.
“They have to grow out first.”
“Why wait? There are some beautiful nails in acrylic… There’s a great little nail-bar just around the corner…”
“Oh, why didn’t I think of that?”
“I could book her in, if you like. Sandra, the girl that runs it is a friend of mine does a great job.”
