‘That’s not going to happen, Jack,’ Frankie said firmly. ‘As I told you before, I’m not going to be your sister-in-law I’m afraid.’
‘I’m sorry—that was tactless of me. Still, I’m sure Abby thinks of you as an auntie.’

‘That’s wonderful. I’ll pick you up at about two o’clock.’
‘No need. I’ll meet you at the school field—I know where it is.’
