.“Happy?” he questions, reflecting my goofy grin.“Yes, future husband, I couldn’t be happier,” I say and blow him a kiss.Tristan smiles like a fool in love, but I can't help wondering what his reactions going to be when Joyce speaks to him about Susannah, and worse, what he will be like when I tell him what I know, and if he’ll listen objectively, I will tell him what Karen told me about Blondie.I really want to tell him about all the other things she’s been up to, I feel slightly nervous about doing that, then I remember that my package should be arriving this morning.I'm not sure how I feel about that either.“I don't think it’s a good idea we arrive together,” I say looking down at my left hand.It already feels strange not wearing my engagement ring.Tristan has stowed it away in his safe at home until we break the news.“I agree.Stuart can drop you off first, I have a couple of things I need to do anyway.” He says.I frown back at him, wondering what it is.“Oh, ok,” I say feeling a little forlorn.“Hey.” Tristan cups my chin.“Thank you baby, for the best weekend ever,” He says in his sexy, husky voice.I smile back at him.“Best ever?” I tease as Stuart pulls up in the underground car park.Tristan takes his seatbelt off, unclips mine and pulls me into his lap, making me giggle.“Best ever, let’s do it again this weekend,” he says, leaning in to kiss me softly.“Definitely,” I murmur against his lips.“I better go,” I whisper, not wanting to leave him at all.Tristan eyes peruse the car park stealthily.“I’ll be fine,” I tell him leaning in to kiss him once more.I pull the door handle and hop out of the car, but as I bend down to say one last goodbye, I wince in pain – Damn I can't walk properly again, poor muscles.Tristan and his sexing!“Sore?” Tristan teases.I purse my lips and frown at him.Then I come up with a plan.“Aren’t you?” I gripe.“Nope.” He replies, smiling sexily at me.“Who’ve you been practising on?” I say my voice low as I frown down at him, but I’m secretly teasing him.His mouth falls open as he sees my serious expression.Ha!Just as he goes to answer me, I smile widely, bob my tongue out at him and quickly slam the door, chuckling heartily to myself as I do.Feeling triumphant, I almost skip my way into work.Pushing through the double doors, I see Joe stuffing her face as usual.“Morning Joe!” I laugh.She mumbles something at me, but I can't make out what it is.Then I think I’d better warn her that Tristan is in today.Walking back over to her desk, I lean forward to her and immediately spy two blueberry muffins!“He’s coming in today,” I whisper raising my eyebrows as I do.Joe frowns at me as though I’ve gone mad, then I see the penny drop.She gulps hard, goes bright pink and silently nods, swallowing again she whispers, “Thanks Coral.”“No worries,” I tell her.“Joyce in yet?” I ask.“No.You look nice,” she says.“You’ve really caught the sun, look how dark you’ve gone! You’re so lucky, I just go pink then burn,” she grumbles.“Yeah? Well, I don't like it, Gladys calls it dirty brown, I’d much rather go bronze,” I say.“Who’s Gladys?” she asks.“My adoptive Mother,” I tell her – I thought she knew.“Really, you were adopted?” she says a little surprised and eager to know more.Uh-oh!“Well I’d better get to it,” I say.I'm about to walk off when she screeches at me.“Coral!” Scrambling under her desk, she hands me an A4 DHL delivery package.“I thought it might be important, so I signed for it, he said you wouldn’t get it till tomorrow if I didn’t.”I smile as she hands me the package.“Joe, I could give you a big kiss for doing that!” I say, she suddenly frowns and starts fidgeting uncomfortably.“I.I’m not into girls,” she tells me awkwardly.I burst out laughing at her.“Me neither!”Joe starts laughing too.“S-sorry Coral” she giggles, blushing again.I shake my head at her as the laughter still ripples through me.Then the phone goes, she runs round the desk to answer it.I whisper ‘thanks again’ as I hold the package up so she knows what I mean, she gives me the thumbs up.This has to be my package from the P.I company.Eager to see what they’ve come up with, I run up the stairs, and bypassing my desk completely, I go straight into Joyce’s office and lock the door behind me.I look up at the clock – 8.20am – I have time.Putting down my handbag and sinking onto the leather sofa, I rip open the package, feeling very nervous about what I might find.When I requested as much information as possible about Susannah, I also asked if I could have the details of Tristan’s ex, I gave them the dates they were together so the information was easier to find.I know I shouldn’t have, but there’s something I want to ask her, yet another suspicion rattling around in my head.With shaking hands, I pull out the paperwork, and lay it on my lap.I close my eyes and take a deep calming breath – Ok Coral you wanted to know!Feeling guilty for doing this behind Tristan’s back, I start scanning the first page.Tristan’s ex’s name is Olivia Logan, was Peters, but she’s now married with a couple of kids.I'm surprised to see that from the time they started dating, it was only a couple of months later that she moved in with Tristan, then she moved out of his registered address when he ended it.My hearts sinks.I didn’t think they would have moved in together so quickly, just like us, does that mean there’s no distinction between us? Enough Coral get on with it!I scan further down the page and I'm shocked when I see her Driving Licence picture.Olivia is stunning.I mean really stunning, she reminds me of Penelope Cruz
