‘Alena?’
‘Yes, I get the impression I remind him of someone by that name. Perhaps I look like her?’
‘Interesting …’ mused Ray.
‘I thought she might be his mother, Sarah’s grandmother, but she hasn’t heard of Alena either.’ Lili stepped out of the house. ‘Will you ask Joseph when he’s … you know … a bit more with it.’
‘Of course.’
‘Thank you.’
‘Is there anything else Joseph said to you?’
‘He also mentioned another name –Miriam.’
‘Miriam?’
‘Does that name mean anything to you, Ray?’
‘No, I’m afraid not.’ Ray changed the subject. ‘Where will you go?’
Lili slammed the front door shut behind her. She stood on the doorstep, hoping a taxi would just happen by. ‘I’ll stay with my best friend for a bit.’ At least, that was the plan. As soon as she got off the phone to Ray, Lili was going to call her again.
‘Is it Hannah?’
‘Yes.’
‘Will you send Maisie our love and ask Hannah if … when we can see Maisie again?’
‘Of course, I will.’ Hannah wouldn’t put herself out to let Maisie visit her paternal grandparents, unless … Lili had a thought. ‘What about Nate?’ Lili ventured, ‘does he want to see Maisie?’
‘Yes, he does. I passed on the phone number you gave me, so he can get in touch with Hannah.’
‘Good.’ Lili spied a taxi and held out her hand, hailing the cab. ‘I’ll speak to Hannah, don’t you worry. If she doesn’t tell Maisie that you are her grandparents and Nate is her dad, then I will tell her myself. She deserves to know.’
‘Thank you, Lili.’
‘You don’t have to thank me, Ray.’
The taxi came to a stop at the kerb.
‘You will show that photo to Connie, won’t you?’
Lili frowned as she opened the car door. ‘I’ve got to go.’
