âAll right,' she said.

A woman came round the side of the coastguard station and steadied herself on the near wall. She had been running, for exercise, and was catching her breath. Her eyes, over-focused by exertion, fixed on them. Jo knew that the woman wasn't actually seeing, but she was relieved that they hadn't already got out in the open and started unwrapping the Apostle spoons. Although the windows on either side of the car were open, she was hidden by the reflections on the chalky glass to the front.
