    twenty-one without the hidden depths of my life and thoughts being seriously challenged by anyone. As I sat there, waiting, the most intense feeling arose in me that all of these questions were probably going to be brought quickly to the surface in the company of someone like Veronica Hamilton, and that I was going to be challenged in a way that I never had been before. I was brought back from the swirling mist of my thoughts by the sound of a wine glass being placed on the table in front of me. “I thought we’d have red,” said Veronica, sitting herself in the booth opposite me and placing her own glass down on the table in front of her. “Thank you,” I said. “That’s perfect.” Veronica’s eyes were fixed on mine again. “Well?” she said. I was confused. “The wine; aren’t you going to try it?” “Oh, of course. Yes.” I lifted the glass to my lips and took a long sip. I felt the smooth, red liquid coat my lips and ease its way down inside me like a languid dream. “It’s delicious, isn’t it, Lucy?” I nodded. It was. It was the first alcohol I had tasted in probably nine months. I was no expert, but I realized that the wine was both expensive and treacherously potent, and I knew that I was going to have to be careful. “Your mother tells me that you got a first class honours degree at university, Lucy.

It felt as though she was somehow managing to silently play with my head, and I had no answer to it. A glossy sheen of ruby red liquid shimmered on her full lips, and the glistening tip of her tongue then slipped over them. Again, for whatever reason, I was unable to form coherent words in my mouth. An embarrassing smile formed on my lips, which I quickly tried to cover over by taking another, long, sip of wine. It was at that moment for perhaps the first time, in the quiet half-light, that I began to realize that not only was Veronica a supremely confident and intimidating woman, but also a stunning and arrestingly attractive one. “You don’t need to answer that,” she continued. “I can see for myself that I am going to have to take you firmly under my wing. I think you need that, don’t you Lucy?” I smiled nervously, said nothing and sipped a little more wine. I began to feel as vulnerable as I ever had in my entire life, and as though masking my insecurities was no longer going to be an option. As I came to this realization, I felt a surprising yet comforting sense of warmth wash through every part of my body. “Your boyfriend must be very proud of you,” she continued. “I, erm, don’t have a boyfriend,” I replied. “A girlfriend?” I felt my face flush warm with embarrassment ...
