In Search of Hope
“When he couldn’t get an answer on Joss’s mobile, he rang Libby’s phone number. No answer to that, either, so he left a message asking Joss to contact him immediately. He didn’t say who he was or give a number, naturally. He flattered himself they would recognise his voice.
When they came home from their walk, with a tired Ned riding on Joss’s shoulders, Libby saw the message light winking on the phone. She tensed immediately. ‘Someone phoned, only no one is supposed to know I’m here except Mr G...reaves, you and Allie.’ Joss slid Ned down from his shoulders. ‘I’ll attend to it. You give the lad that biscuit he’s been demanding.’ But she waited to hear who it was.
When he lifted the phone, Leon’s cultured tones rang out.
Libby looked at him. ‘Do I know this guy?’ ‘I do. It’s your new employer.’ He pulled out his mobile. ‘Ah, someone’s left me a message too. Yes, it’s him.’ He dialled the number he’d memorised, and which he would never put on quick dial or write down anywhere.MoreLess
