Lorraine Wilson - Poppy’s Place in the Sun

I’ll have to apologise, explain I didn’t know anything about the law here. But if he thinks he’s getting his hands on my house, he really will have a fight on his hands. I’m meant to be here, and I’m staying.

“Don’t worry, Poppy, it will be okay.” Angeline hugs me, and some of the tension seeps out of my body.

Don’t worry. How many times have people said that to me over the years? If only it were that easy.

“If you like, I will explain that you did not know the law or mean it as a threat?” Angeline offers.

“That would be great, if you don’t mind.” I exhale with relief. “Thank you so much.”

“I’ll see you at the chateau later on?” She asks before she walks away. “I’m on call, but I’ll be there.”

“Oh. Yes. See you later then.” I cross my fingers there won’t be any vet emergencies this evening. Having Angeline there this evening might help.

“Leo will be there too, of course.” Angeline heads off to continue her survey of the field boundaries, but I swear I see a gleam in her eye as she turns.

Hmm.

I get my phone out to Google where I can buy chicken wire.

I want to be Angeline when I grow up.
