Scott wasn’t sure this was helpful. ‘Makes you wonder why she booked me to come again.’ He aimed his torch at the panel on the side of the boiler, trying to make out the faded writing on the instruction sticker.
Saffy hopped onto the countertop and crossed her legs. ‘The firm she tried last week were too expensive and the one she contacted yesterday never bothered turning up.’
Scott laughed. He was more amused than offended, even if he did feel a little put out she’d taken such a dislike to him. What the hell was wrong with him? He was a nice guy … Wasn’t he?
The doorbell tinkled. A young guy entered wearing funeral attire, a top hat tucked under his arm. ‘Hey there, Saffy-with-the-hat.’ His grin was toothy and enthusiastic, his interest in Saffy as apparent as the nature of his employment.
Saffy’s reaction to the lad’s arrival was about as welcoming as Evie had been to Scott. ‘What do you want?’
The lad laughed. ‘Great sales technique. I’m just checking on an order for later. Will it be ready?’
Saffy peered at him from under the brim of her hat. ‘Have any of your orders ever not been ready?’
He shook his head. ‘Nope.’
‘Then no reason to suppose it’ll be any different this time.’ Her top lip curled into a sneer. ‘If there’s nothing else?’ She waved her fingers. ‘Bye bye.’
Evie emerged from the kitchen. ‘Oh, hi, Josh. Your order’s not ready yet, I’m afraid. Can you come back in a couple of hours?’
Josh smiled. ‘No worries, I was just passing. Thought I’d drop in.’ He hesitated, stealing a sideways glance at Saffy. ‘I’ll come back then.’ When she didn’t reply, he headed for the door. ‘See you later, Saffy-with-the-hat.’
Saffy feigned a smile. ‘Not if I see you first … Josh-with-the-ears,’ she mumbled once the door had closed behind him.
