Covered and uncovered

After Terry had dropped off Livia at Southampton, forced by Tony to delay, a long week followed for him. The atmosphere was palpable. Terry's resentment of Tony's bullying and his inner feelings of self-loathing were a strange, bitter cocktail.

Terry's flight to Barbados to pick up the cruise and Livia was scheduled at 1pm from Heathrow on Saturday. On Thursday evening, just before they went home, Tony announced to Terry.

"I'll take you to the airport on Saturday."

"Thanks Tony, that's very kind, but I've got it covered."

"Well now you've got it uncovered. I'm taking you! I insist!"
