Setting up

Sofia waited for Paolo. There was a pause and then he looked around, furtively, as if everyone in Langan’s was listening to him. ‘Great!’ thought Sofia, ‘he plans to tell me all... otherwise why would he be so concerned? And who the hell here knows him anyway!’ She was aware that as far as her own plans were concerned, information was power. But she really liked Paolo anyway, silly boy!

“Well,” started Paolo, “Livia hasn’t said anything concrete but I think she might be setting me up. Her big thing right now is organising Terry’s funeral. But she hated him!”
