‘I think it’s a headstand,’ said her best friend Bella, who stood next to her by the large window, still holding the box of kitchen utensils she’d carried in from the van Jess had hired to move her things.
‘Well, I can see that! But why is he doing it in my garden?’
Bella looked thoughtful for a moment, then shook her head. ‘No, I can’t answer that one. Oh look! He’s doing the downward-facing dog now.’
Jess sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead onto the arm of her pullover. ‘This is all I need. I came here to get away from one annoying man and now I have one doing…’
‘The downward-facing dog,’ said Bella.
‘…in my back garden.’
Bella cocked her head to one side. ‘He’s very good.’
‘I don’t care how good he is. He’s trespassing!’
Jess caught sight of her own angry face reflected in the window. She’d aged 10 years in the past week. She was sure there was a touch more grey in her otherwise chestnut-coloured hair.
