filled with sudden enthusiasm. ‘I think I might give it a try. Maybe that’s what I need. Exercise I can just do, whenever Jed’s home and I get the chance to go out. It’d be a lot simpler than going to the gym, and it might shift this . . .’ I poke my belly.
‘Good for you,’ she says. ‘It’s brilliant actually. Great for stress levels too. I’d come with you, keep you company, but I don’t think the old knees could take it.’
‘Don’t worry,’ I say, laughing. ‘I’d have to go in the middle of the night anyway. Couldn’t risk being seen, could I?’
She shakes her head despairingly as I take my ringing mobile from my pocket. It’s Jed, which is unusual. He rarely phones during the day. ‘School boiler’s broken,’ he explains, ‘so I’m coming home early. Just wondered where you were.’
‘At playgroup,’ I tell him, adding, as a joke, ‘Why don’t you come along?’
‘I, um . . . where is it?’ he asks, sounding alarmed.
‘St Mary’s Hall. Didn’t you know that, Jed?’ I tease him.
‘Well, er . . .’
‘It’s on until three,’ I add. ‘Come on, you’ll love it and you’ll give all the mums here a treat.’
‘Well, er, I was just, um . . .’
‘Great. See you soon, love. Bye!’ I finish the call and grin at Beth.
