I told Scarlett to gather up enough clothes for a few days.

"Are we going on a vacation?" she asked as she winked.

"Yeah, an all-expense paid trip to Jake Randolph's cheap apartment. Sunbathe under a naked light bulb on Jake's threadbare couch. Thrill to the views of scenic Glendale out of his dirty apartment window."

She laughed, "Jake? Are you expecting trouble? Is that why you don't want me staying here?"

I nodded, "Until I get Nick behind bars I just don't want you staying here alone. It shouldn't take but a couple days. I'm sure we'll manage."

    Thanks re emoji. It’s a Mrs H original interpretation of a bit of machinery in The Secret Garden, a wonderful little free place in our village with things to fascinate young and old alike. In fact I think I wrote a drabble about it some time back.
