The hum of chatter faded as soon as the Steward announced their arrival and every

behind some of these faces.’

‘Oh yes, because you’re an expert on spotting sinister intentions,’ Maeve sniggered

sarcastically. ‘Are you ever going to let that go?’ Ann replied with a little sigh as her

frustration leaked into her tone. ‘Evidently not. You’re a big girl. You can take it. Own
