The Rock
“Four large glasses of Zinfandel rosé sloshed around her head like a rough sea, and she found it difficult to focus. Wow, she thought, suppressing a hiccup. Gibraltar’s bartenders didn’t mess about with the measurements.
She went to knock. Hesitated. Her knuckles cast a ridged shadow over the spyhole.
At first the offer had seemed so simple. Take a package onboard the frigate, stash it in her locker – not that easy, considering how stingy the Senior Service was when it came to locker space and t...he endless dress codes required of the average Wren – unload the package the other side and collect payment.
There’s always an at first, she told herself. At first it was a good idea to marry Danny, the guy she’d met two weeks before her sixteenth birthday. Danny, the boy in a man’s skin who did lines of coke on their wedding night, and flirted with the hotel staff on their honeymoon in Corfu.
At first it seemed like a smart call to join the Navy.
Well. No more regrets. She’d already made up her mind that she wouldn’t go back to Danny.MoreLess
