Next morning she tried three dry-cleaners but they all said the stain would never come out, though one said they would try. She had come to New York to go to her cousin Lizzie’s wedding and she meant to have a happy day. Before leaving for the church she spoke on the phone to Alex. She had thought to tell him about Trevor Lant and what he had said. But somehow, when she was talking to him, she couldn’t. If she started that she would have to tell him what she had said to Lant when he asked her t...o have dinner with him. He would be shocked. He hated rudeness.
‘Did you have a good flight?’ ‘Oh, yes. Quite good.’ ‘No one awful sitting next to you?’ Now would be the time to tell him. Instead, she lied. He was so kind and trusting he always believed her.
‘No. The seat was empty all the way to New York.’ ‘I hope you’ll be as lucky coming back. I miss you, darling.’ ‘I miss you too.’ Why had she lied to Alex? An ex-boyfriend had told her she lied when there was no need.
