What's Yours is Mine (2011)
“After all, this whole dramatic race-and-rescue nonsense was her idea. I’m like a bloody battery hen stuck back here in economy, with all these screaming kids and sunburnt tourists in tracksuits and “comfy” sandals. And they have the cheek to look at me like I’m the freak they don’t want to sit next to.
“I’ve arranged for you to pick up your ticket at the airport,” Grace told me bossily last night, without bothering to check if I wanted to come rushing home. “It’s all paid for. And make sure you... bring enough clothes for at least a couple of weeks. I don’t know how long you’ll need to be here.”

“This is an emergency, Susannah. How can you even think about money?”MoreLess
