After a leisurely bath, Luke busied himself in the cottage bedroom packing a travelling bag he had borrowed from Cath.
Angie burst in. She looked at the scene in disbelief. "You can"t leave—you"ve only just got here!"
"Important business trip," he replied without elaboration.
"Are you going robbing?" she asked eagerly. "Can I come?"
He shook his head. "I"m finished with all that. I"m gonna see my dadu. No gorgios allowed." He smiled. "Specially not pretty ones."
He picked up his bag and moved to the door. She grabbed his arm.
"I want to be with you, Luke!" she blurted out. "I need you!"
"Well, you can"t have me," he replied sternly.
"Why not? We"d make a great couple."
"I"m spoke for."
"Mam"s too old for you," she said resentfully.
"You"re far too young." He kissed her tenderly
