Excerpt

They say bad news, like buses, always comes in threes. Had I thought about this, early, on that sunny June Saturday, I might just have stayed in bed. But of course I didn’t think about it. Nothing had happened yet. Instead, I was busy pulling open the curtains and yawning, and thinking how soaring summer temperatures and itchy uniforms don’t mix, however nice the day would be for the bride. If you’re chauffeur to a bride, a uniform’s a must. Because if a wedding’s going to be a day to remember, all the little details have to be right. That’s what my firm was called, A Day To Remember, and we provided special cars for special days out. Weddings, of course, but also birthdays and christenings. Whatever, as my ex-husband used to say, the clients wanted. Today’s Day To Remember was, as they often were, a wedding. Second marriage, quite small, in a hotel. Three hours work for me, tops, and then I could get home. But before that, I had to get up and get the wedding car ready. Get the ribbons tied on, get the champagne nicely chilled, and then get our elderly Rolls Royce round to the bride’s house in plenty of time. So no time for a lie-in. I padded off into the bathroom and turned on the shower, picking up stray items of Josh’s clothing as I went. Teenage sons, I thought fondly, as I coiled up my hair and stuffed it into a shower cap – would I ever get him house trained? I really needed to remind him where the laundry basket was. With the shower on at full blast, I didn’t hear the phone. So the first I knew about the first bit of bad news was the sound of Josh’s voice bellowing up the stairs. ‘Mum? Mu-um!!’ I switched the shower off. ‘Yes?’ ‘Rhys is on the phone.’ Rhys was a local farmer. We kept our two wedding cars in his barn. ‘Coming!’ I reached for a bath towel, still dripping. I trotted down the stairs and Josh handed me the phone. ‘Lovely morning,’ Rhys said. I agreed that it was. ‘I was wondering,’ he added, ‘what you had on today. Only Tom’s at a loose end and in need of some cash. You want him to go over the roller for you?’ Tom was Rhys’s son, and was fifteen, like Josh. And also like Josh he liked to earn himself pocket-money by washing and polishing our two cars. ‘Don’t worry about the Rolls,’ I said. ‘Josh only did it on Thursday. But if he’s keen to earn some money, he could give the limo a polish. We’re not going to need it till next weekend, and it’ll be one less job to do.’ The limo was our other car. We needed both when we had bigger jobs. ‘OK,’ said Rhys. ‘I’ll have him do that. When’s it coming back?’ ‘Back? Back from where?’ ‘From wherever it is.’ ‘It’s not there?’ ‘Nope.’ ‘Oh, well. I expect Steve’s popped out to get the tyre pressures checked or something.’ Steve was the driver who worked for me part-time. I usually gave him all the evening jobs to do. I’d spent more than enough time over the years working nights. Also keeping two expensive cars on the road meant there was always something that needed doing. That was one reason I so looked forward to the time when they were gone from my life.
