“She knows Vanessa's watching her go. She adds a little swing to her step. When she gets to the end of the path Vanessa calls her name. She turns, her heart in her mouth.
"Call him," Vanessa says, "He’ll pick up."”

“She doesn't believe in God, she knows that much. She would have said she didn't believe in fate, either. But something in the universe saw fit to lock her in a cellar with Vanessa bloody Woodfield.
Charity smiles. Must be love.” (ch.35)

Bookmarker's Notes
Vanessa catches Charity’s hand on her cheek before she lowers it, holding it there so she can kiss her palm quickly, and Charity smiles in response, a proper genuine smile that makes Vanessa warm, tilting her head to the side in a way that never fails to make Vanessa think she’s the most beautiful personification of pain in existence.
The most beautiful personification of anything, come to that.

Summary
"Her eyes peek, not really moving to reach yet and though she can’t be certain, the small contact name that accompanies the text message looks to be the length of Charity’s.
The sigh that comes isn’t because she doesn’t want to hear from her. It’s because she does and if she’s being honest with herself, she’s been waiting for a message all day. And she’s beginning to resent herself for it. Vanessa Woodfield, doctor, mother and generally accomplished, well put together woman, is both too old and too sensible to be reduced to teenage antics by a bar maid."
Set in the early days of Vanity.

""Well, not if you're you," Tracy says, sniffing. "If you're you, you just snog one in the pub cellar and find the love of your life."
Vanessa flushes a deep red. "That's...that's a bit-"
"Oh Vanessa, shut up. That's what she is and you know it." She pokes Vanessa in the chest. "Anyone who sees the pair of you together knows that.""

Bookmarker's Notes
“It’s funny, you know... it’s the same house, isn’t it? It used to be our home.” She’s looking into the distance, at the pathway leading up to Tug Ghyll, and he follows her gaze. “And, apart from the wallpaper, it really is the same, Cain, that extra step outside the bathroom: still a complete pain. Though I’ve never tripped over it again, not once... There’s still a dent in the doorframe of the master bedroom from that time you threw the alarm clock at me... And the back door still doesn’t close properly since that time you slammed it so hard it fell off... But Cain, it feels so different now. That house.”
oh bittersweetness the emotion that you are!!
