“Are you going to audition for the fashion show?” Alastair asked Rainne as they left the

“Don’t be daft,” Rainne scoffed “I don’t think anyone wants to see me parade around in my underwear”

“I do,” he said in a voice that made her insides turn to custard

He reached for her hand as they walked into the cold night air The streets were dark, but dry There hadn’t been rain in Invertary in over a week and that was practically a record in the Highlands Rainne set used to this wee town Alastair pulled her along into the high street and doards the waterfront, following the crowd

“Where are we going?” she said

“Pub Chips”

And his mates

Alastair stopped walking and stood in front of her He looked at her so long that she lowered her eyes in shame

“Everybody loves you, Rainbow,” he said softly “You don’t need to be worried”

Alastair put a finger under her chin to tilt her head upwards

“No They don’t”
