Foreign Affairs
“It was her last day at work. She’d had to come back to the office to work out her notice, otherwise her maternity leave wouldn’t have been paid. She was getting a nice fat gratuity. Half of it was going towards paying off the mortgage and getting the central heating installed. The other half, she would keep for herself to buy a car. She already had it picked out. A nifty little Citroën. She’d paid the deposit on it. By the weekend she would be the proud owner of a car. She’d be able to go where... she pleased and be a woman of leisure. Well not leisure exactly. Taking care of Claudia was much more demanding than she’d thought it would be. It wasn’t as bad now as it had been the first few weeks when she’d been having four-hourly feeds. Kit had been a lifesaver during those dreadful days after she’d come out of the hospital and been in such a panic, thinking she was doing everything wrong.
