A spray
of white blooms caught Connie’s eye as she marched past the flower stall, but
she didn’t allow herself to falter. Not today. She had a very important meeting
to make and she couldn’t be late. Possibly the most important meeting of her life…
no, that was an exaggeration! Nonetheless, her mission was to reach the café at
Selfridges before eleven o’clock. All her instincts told her that she should be
safely in situ before her foe arrived. Stepping into the gutter to avoid a
ponderous group of tourists, she picked up her pace and continued down Oxford
Street.
