Chapter Two - James - Planning

Richard joins me in the kitchen, peering over my work surface and hob, where onions and mince sizzle with the spices. “What are we having?”

“Chilli con Carne.”

“Sounds good. Want some help?”

“And…?”

“If you recall, I had the investment made in Elizabeth’s name, and she definitely wants to have an input.”
