Nothing too expensive, as he wants to buy a car as well. Can’t drive Carmella around in a van for ever. Too uncomfortable, he says – a woman like her deserves better
Neil offers to buy Alastair and Chantelle a drink. We’ll buy, says Alastair. My fiancé will pay. She’s one of Huntsford’s top businesswomen – she can afford it…

Bob comes home. Judy has made dinner. Thought they’d have a cosy night in…

I’m fine, she sighs. Then complains to Jordan she can’t work for all the well-wishers
