Lili shook her head. ‘Yes, I suppose it could do with a new rug and some more furniture, but I’d want Alena’s portrait left over the fireplace.’

Alex was about to walk in and interrupt the conversation he wished Nate was not having with his girlfriend when a woman’s voice behind him stopped him in his tracks. ‘Excuse me.’
