Victoria could have ordered
the furniture she wanted in St Pierre without having to leave the island, but
they quoted six weeks for delivery, apart from the bed which would be delivered
on Saturday, which was why she and Harold were sailing to Pipershaven early on
Wednesday morning.
She managed to get everything
she went for, as well as a few things she hadn’t thought of.
“Thank you, Harold,” she said
as they stood by the rail looking across the bay to the islands.
“What for?” he asked
“Helping me” she said “I
couldn’t have done this without you”
And then she kissed him, and
it was the first meaningful kiss that had shared, a gentle yet significant
kiss, not a passionate embrace, she was saving that for when she had moved into
the cottage.
On Thursday she made a number
of trips to the cottage with items from Harold’s storeroom at the shop, curtain
tracks, towel rails, blinds, kitchen accessories, bathroom fitting and a
bathroom cabinet, which Franci had kindly offered to fit for her, and a case of
wine as a thank you.
Friday marked the end of June
and the completion of the renovations of the properties on the west side of the
river, but it was more significant than that for Amelia Williamson as Clive
Crossfield was returning to the island, and she couldn’t wait to see him again.
