‘Annie, phone!’
Although she was breathing in and trying to tease her skirt zip up over a
pair of dangerously over-stretched control-top tights, Annie managed to shout
back at the disembodied voice of her husband: ‘Just blinkin’ leave it, will
you? I’ll phone the fascist dictator right back.’
It was bound to be the hyper-efficient production assistant wanting to talk
through some tiny minor detail of the next filming schedule. But quite
frankly, Annie had been in the TV studios for twelve hours already today and
twelve hours every other day this week, plus last weekend, and she needed a
night off.
She deserved a night off. In fact, if she didn’t get tonight off, she, Annie
Valentine, stressed-out mother-of-four, popular presenter of TV’s down-toearth fashion show How To Be Fabulous, was going to scream long and loud.
Her sister, Dinah, and her best friend, Connor, were probably already in the
bar halfway through their first round and all she wanted right now was for
this blinking skirt to blinking do up so she could dash over in a taxi and join
them.
There, finally, muffin-top managed. The zip was up, the skirt was on, the
ruffled chiffon blouse was tucked in. The blouse didn’t do up at the front any
more, so she’d put a vest top underneath and left several buttons undone,
using a chunky, pearly necklace to camouflage the crime scene.
How she could go to the gym and be tortured once, sometimes even twice
a week and not shift one ounce of post-baby lard was yet another of life’s
many unsolved mysteries.
She stepped over a pile of dirty football kit, a pair of clapped-out tartan
slippers, a bundle of toddler pyjamas and stood in front of her bedroom
mirror.
‘ED!’ she shouted as she pencilled liner round her exhausted eyes.
‘What?’
‘Our bedroom…’ she began, ‘our bedroom is one complete and utter…’
She stopped herself and sighed.
