‘Actually, yes.’

‘Well, blow me.’

‘Places, people,’ Ivy called. ‘It’s opening time.’

A thrill rushed through Quinn as he squeezed Noah’s hand. Daniel and James made themselves look important. Hermione sat a little taller. The room went deathly quiet.

Then Quinn opened the door.

‘Welcome back!’

Deb and June entered first. He fought back tears, thinking that having a breakdown in front of paying customers again was not the best idea.

‘I always loved your work,’ Deb said to Hermione.

‘And your son is sexy,’ June said.

‘Thank you,’ Hermione said.

‘Will you sign my tea cosy, too?’

Noah giggled, and Quinn wrapped his arms around him, squeezing him.

‘Thank you for being here.’

Noah kissed him on the head and slipped a hand to his back. He did tower above Quinn.

‘Look up, handsome.’
