“Despite my lack of sleep – Mum and I had stayed up talking until dawn – and my hangover, I wanted to look my best this evening. Who’d have thought I could end up with Dan and rebuild my relationship with Mum all in one night? I touched two fingers to my lips. They tingled when I thought of last night’s kiss, and happiness bubbled inside me like champagne. Charlie and I were only going to the local pub to meet Ben and Dan but I’d taken extra care with my make-up: eyes lined a little darker, ...lips glossier. It may have been a Sunday evening, but it felt like a special occasion – and to top it off, I was legally old enough to drink now. No sitting in the corner nursing a Coke, sneaking vodka in my glass while Mike, the landlord, wasn’t looking, from a half-bottle Charlie had hidden in her bag. There was a tap on my door. ‘Come in.’ Mum perched on the edge of my bed, patted the space next to her. ‘I’m going soon, darling; it’s a long drive back to Devon.’ ‘I wish you could stay.’ I sat next to her and rested my head on her shoulder.MoreLessRead More Read Less
