Chapter 4 I left St. Ives the next morning. I still had a couple of days of annual leave left and much as I would’ve loved to spend them in Jo’s arms it made more sense for me to leave. Jo had lots to sort out in preparation for taking the café over officially and was going to immediately close it down for a few days for refurbishment. She may have chilled out significantly in the 3 years we’d been apart but the old control freak was still hovering just under the surface, so she wanted to be around to monitor the progress of the contractors. I also had lots to do. I needed to decide whether to sell or rent my flat out and I also needed to start packing and make all of the necessary arrangements for moving my life from London down to Cornwall and so, after a tearful and drawn out goodbye,
