moved closer to Kay and took her hand looking deep into her eyes.
    The feel of his skin on hers caused her heart to patter and for a moment she was distracted. Then she remarked decisively, “There are plenty of good secretaries.”
    “But no one like you, Kay. We get on so well. I think we have a very special relationship.”
    “I agree we work well together. I’m sorry. I talked it over with my parents last night and there is no way I can leave home.”
    “I’m very, very sorry to hear that, but of course I understand that you must abide by your parents’ wishes. I don’t suppose it would help if I talked to them?”
    “No, really, my mind’s made up.” Kay didn’t want to tell him that their only concerns were financial and that she had made the decision.
    Having dictated several letters Michael leaned back in his chair. “Now we need to sort out the pay rises.”
    “Pay rises?”
    “We’re going to be expanding and with more business we’ll be busier than ever. I think everyone should benefit from that.” A frown crossed his face. “That’s if everything goes as I hope. I’m afraid this difficulty with Reacher and Good has rather dented my confidence. But Father says it will be something and nothing so I’m to carry on with my plans. He has a surprising amount of faith in my abilities!”
    Kay wasn’t quite sure what to say. “I’m sure he’s right. Since I’ve been working for you all your clients have been very satisfied with your work.”
    “Hmm, which is why this business with Reacher and Good is so puzzling… or maybe not. I’ve just had a thought. I might know what’s at the bottom of this.”
    “Are you going to tell me or is this another secret?” Kay wished she didn’t always say what she thought.
    “Oh, you’re talking about the move. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you about it. I needed to be sure I’d signed the lease on the premises before I said anything. I didn’t want people thinking they were moving then being told they couldn’t. I had to be certain. It’s a shame you’re not coming with me, Kay.” Once again Michael took her hand and looked her in the eye. She was mesmerised by those blue eyes. “I had thought that we’d be working even more closely together in the future and it wouldn’t be long before you knew almost as much as I do about the business. I’m devastated.”
    “I’m sorry.”
    “Please convince your parents, Kay. It’s a wonderful opportunity for you and there’s so much going on in Blayton.”
    Kay wondered just how large the pay rise might be and whether it would enable her to make the most of the opportunities available in the county town. “I’ll talk to them again this evening. They aren’t against me going, but they do have a few worries about me moving there and so do I.”
    “Tell them I’ll make sure you’re all right. I promise them that.”

    “Will you water the beans now, love? That shower we had this morning wasn’t enough to soak through to the roots.
    “Dad, isn’t it a lovely evening?” Kay refilled the watering can at the water butt. “I love these warm evenings. Listen to those birds. Don’t they sound happy?”
    “They do, but what about you? Are you happy?”
    “I did want to go to Blayton. It’s a wonderful opportunity to move to a large town and be the boss’s secretary.”
    “And you’re still so young. I always said you’re as bright as a button. Still there’ll be other jobs and we like having you here. We’d have missed you if you’d gone.”
    Kay sat down and patted the bench beside her. “Come and sit down, Dad. Michael really wants me to go and he told me today he’s giving us all a pay rise. I think I could manage quite comfortably. I’d like to go, but only with the blessing of both of you.”
    “I’ll go and talk to your mother now whilst you finish the watering.”

    “So what’s the verdict?”
    “It isn’t quite as straightforward as it seems is it, Kay? It
