have a husband, I am capable of making decisions on my own.”
    “Well
make a decision then! I haven’t got all day to look at houses!” He looked
towards the stairs. “I might as well have a look around now while you’re making
your mind up.”
    Anger
erupted in Cara. “You’ll do no such thing! You haven’t been invited into my
house so get out!”
    Gavin
stepped forward. “I think you should leave, Mr Fox. Now. Ms Daniels can make
her own mind up, and in her own time.”
    Liam
Fox bared his teeth as he snarled at Gavin. “I know what you’re up to! You’re
like all the other estate agents round here. You think I’m some sort of joke,
you don’t take me seriously.” A cold look came into his eyes. “You’ve just made
a mistake, Mr Bennett, a big mistake.” He threw Cara a disgusted look as he
turned on his heel and walked out of the door.
    “I’m
so sorry about that, Ms Daniels. I don’t care if Mr Fox has a million pounds to
spend, I’m not going to do any more business with him.” Gavin looked at his
clipboard. “I’ve got all the information I need. I’ll be in touch with our
proposed selling price and details of our marketing plan. You can then decide
if you want us to go ahead. Do you have any questions?”
    Cara
looked at him. She wanted to ask him where he was going next and would he mind
if she tagged along? Instead she said, “No, thank you for coming round.”
    They
both walked out of the front door. Gavin’s phone rang. He asked Cara to excuse
him as he answered it. He walked a little way down the drive and spoke into his
phone. Cara took a couple of discreet steps after him so that she could listen.
    Gavin
said, “Hi Susan. What? No, I won’t return Nora Silcoates’ call! While I’ve got
you on the phone, block any future enquiries from Liam Fox. I don’t want him on
our books any more, send him the standard letter. Was there anything else?
Okay. Bye.”
    Gavin
gave Cara a final wave and then headed towards his car. Cara walked casually
back towards Gran’s house hoping she was giving the impression of being the
owner.
    “Cara!
She’s coming out! I can’t stop her!” Robin flew into her vision and floated
down to her side.
    Ada
Clements came out of her house and made her way over to the adjoining fence.
She put one hand on it and nodded towards Gavin who was standing near his car.
“Who’s that? Has he been in Abigail’s house? I’m sure I know him. Let me get a
closer look.” Ada turned towards Gavin.
    “No!”
Cara said and she shot towards the fence. “He’s no one.”
    Ada
frowned. “I’m sure I saw him coming out of Abigail’s house. Is he your
boyfriend?”
    “Yes,”
Cara said. “That’s who it is. He’s my boyfriend. He wanted to have a look at
Gran’s house.”
    “Why?”
    “Because
he …” Cara faltered.
    Ada
tapped the fence. “Because he’s an estate agent! That’s where I’ve seen him
before, at Wright’s Estate Agents.” Ada chuckled. “I like to look at other people’s
houses. I’ve been in that estate agent’s a few times, they never mind me
looking at the photos.” Ada’s smile dropped. “You’re not thinking of selling
Abigail’s house are you? Oh! Don’t tell me she’s not coming back!”
    Robin
flew through the fence and over to Ada’s side. “Cara! She’s crying! You’ve
upset her!”
    Cara
moved closer to the fence, leaned over and put her hand on Ada’s arm. “Gran
isn’t moving. I’m not selling the house. In fact, I think I will move in for a
while. My apartment hasn’t got a garden and I do miss sitting out in the sun.”
    Ada
and Robin said at the same time, “Do you mean that?”
    Cara
laughed. They both had the same hopeful expression on their faces. She said,
“Yes, I do mean that.”
    Ada
wiped a tear away.
    A
screeching noise from the road made all three heads turn. They watched
dumbfounded as a car skidded to a halt in the middle of the road and a man
wearing a woolly hat jumped out. He grabbed
