  Chloë picked up Potato and cuddled him to her. "How would you feel if I went to New York?" she whispered into the furry triangle of his ear. "Would you be okay if I left you here with Rob?" Potato purred. "And what do you think I should do about James, my fat friend? You think I should finish things, don't you? You never liked him—always on your bloody sofa." Potato purred some more.
  With a sigh, Chloë put him down and watched him make his way back to the dent in the cushions that was the hallmark of his snoozing spot. He doesn't give a fig, she thought. She hunted for her handbag, located it under the kitchen table, and cast her eye around the apartment, allowing herself a moment's nostalgia as she recalled the good times she and Rob had shared there. It had been her haven (albeit a messy one) virtually since the day she'd left college, and she wasn't sure how she felt about someone else moving into her room, even though it was set to be a good friend of Rob's whom she also knew. Then there was Rob. Would he be okay without her? More to the point, would she be okay without him?
  What a few weeks it's been, she acknowledged as the double-decker crossed the Thames. More than I could have dreamed for careerwise seems to be coming true, and this will be one of the last times I'll travel this particular route...
  She'd not breathed a word about her transfer to anyone at the office other than Vanessa until it was all signed and sealed—even James didn't know. They'd gotten together a handful of times at her apartment since the party, but with uncharacteristic patience she had held off on mentioning anything until she'd an offer in writing. Two days ago her contract had finally arrived, so today she was due to break the news. She'd chosen neutral territory and arranged to see him during her lunch hour.
  They met in Soho Square. It was a bright, spring day; the daffodils were out. And although they needed to keep their jackets on, it was warm enough to sit on the grass with their sandwiches.

conversations.value: Once her back was turned she started to cry. Yet she kept walking, determined, back for her final afternoon at UK Publishing, all woman at last.
  They were standing on the edge of the soccer field together, watching the Shere Tigers versus the Godalming Lions. It was a typical March afternoon—neither warm nor cold, cloudy nor sunny, though it was windy, and gusts kept catching Maggie's hair, swooping wisps in front of her face.
  With only five minutes to go, the Tigers were losing one-zero, and Nathan was standing scuffing the turf with his boots, bored. The game had been focused down at his team's goal end; as a striker, he'd had little chance to play. Suddenly, one of the Tiger's defenders snatched the ball in a rare moment of aggression, and kicked it away from the goal mouth, toward him. Startled, Nathan realized he had an opportunity at his feet.
  The Godalming defense, having had it easy the entire match, were taken unawares. Quick as a flash, Nathan shot down toward the goal, dribbling the way his father had taught him, with virtuosity surprising in a seven-year-old. He nipped around the defender. Now, other than the keeper, there was only one player between him and the goal.
  A few seconds later, flustered, Jamie and Maggie broke apart, shocked at the first physical contact they'd had in months.

conversations.value: She hung up without getting drawn into a long chat but before starting the engine, decided to make one last call. "Hi—it's Mags. Can you talk?"
  She felt a bit funny, flustered even. "I—er—you said you wanted to see me this weekend? Maybe go away somewhere?"
  A big thank-you to family, and especially my mum, not just for her direct advice about this novel but also for her support over the years.
  My friends Debbie Fagan, Margaret Heffernan, Jenny Lingrell, Julie Miller, Paula Morris, and Michele Teboul deserve special mention, as do my very own "Robs," Bill Graber, John Scott, Patrick Fitzgerald, and Karl Miller. And as for the J/J-like guys I've known in my time, well, have a margarita on me.
  I'd also like to add thanks to my UK editor, Francesca Main, who helped hone this revised version; my U.S. editor, Sara Goodman; photographer Madelyn Mulvaney and designer Jonathan Roberts for their work on the new cover; Pauline Amaya-Torres for helping with typo-spotting; and my other half, Tom, for being nothing like this novel's James.
