The Sea Garden
“‘Tom is driving me mad and I simply couldn’t stand it another minute,’ she says, following Kate into the living-room. ‘But I didn’t want to butt in on you and Guy. Oliver said that he and Gemma were going straight after lunch.’ She bends to make a fuss of Flossie, knowing she shouldn’t have come quite so soon; she should have given Kate time to get over seeing Guy. At the same time she hates this stand-off between herself and Kate while Gemma and Guy get themselves sorted out.
‘I think it’ll work,’ Oliver told her, when he phoned yesterday, ‘as long as nobody interferes.’ Meanwhile she feels jittery and unable to relax, and Gemma won’t be back until tomorrow.
‘They went about ten minutes ago,’ Kate says. She too feels uncomfortable. It seems wrong, after fifty years of friendship, to be at odds with Cass. Yet she’s still overemotional, having spent this short time alone with Guy after nearly a year’s separation, and she very slightly resents this unexpected visit, which is jarring her... out of her mood.MoreLess
