Chapter Seventeen

T he last day of term looked like being a lot more emotional than Grace could have imagined when she’d started at the language school. Just the sight of the kids sitting quietly in front of her was almost enough to set her off. She was ending with her favourite Saturday class of eight- and nine-year-olds, Stelios among them.

All week long she’d been plied with homemade treats from parents, most of which she’d taken straight to Angeliki to share at lunchtime. Grace had seen how hard the poor woman worked. She never turned anyone away. The vet barely had time to breathe, let alone eat, and Grace had become her unofficial coffee maker and food provider, forcing Angeliki to take a break each lunchtime.

Karen the kitten was getting stronger by the day, and her playful personality was emerging. Grace had bought some cat toys for her from one of the many pet shops in town. She’d had Angeliki in fits of laughter as she dragged the fake mice along the ground and Karen timed her pounce exactly. Grace had upgraded her messages to Will from texts to videos of the cat they’d rescued together. He sent videos back of the various beaches and yachts he’d been on. Plus, one of a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne. Obviously, a tough gig.
