Greymail
“And now Paolo, while we wait for our delicious food, you’re going to tell me how and why Mary bloody Flaherty knows about my lovely diamond!” As Sofia said the word diamond, she raised her right hand and wiggled her fingers naughtily. This was a kind of ‘greymail’ to keep Paolo talking and giving her the full story.
Paolo winced and whispered anxiously “Keep it down Sofia, or ideally take it off your finger. I can and will tell you why she knows about it... because she told me... and she suspects I might’ve known too. She wants it back!”

Sorry everyone, I have taken an extraordinarily long time getting back to this story to complete it. I am determined to nail it, sooner rather than later. This is meant to be the spur to achieving that. I have always told others wanting to write but not knowing how to start, just to get started with whatever comes into your mind and it will be so much easier to maintain the momentum. And it’ll feel good too. Let’s hope it works for me...
