Summary
definition: a note or notes that precede the first full bar; a pickup
Demelza Carne is a week away from starting her new career as a professor of music history and theory at Truro College, excited to begin a new stage in her life, devoid of the philandering ex-husband who broke her heart. And it is her heart her friend Caroline is worried about.
Well, perhaps not worried. And maybe not Demelza's heart. The night of her big 3-0, Demelza spots a tall, dark-haired man who can't take his eyes off of her during a pub crawl in Newquay. Chat leads to snogs leads to a night of passion Demelza never experienced before. In the morning, he is gone and all she knows is his first name: Ross. Throughout the week, she cannot get him out of her mind. His hands, his mouth, his body, simply...him. She looks for him and finds glimpses of him in the people and things she encounters: the luxuriant black curls of her regular barista; the eyes of a black cat belonging to her neighbour. Yet, she never finds him.
Until he walks into her lecture hall.
