Goats!Lexi Sloane pushed her designer sandal hard onto the brake pedal as a pair of longeared brown and white nanny goats tottered out in front of the car as she drove around a bend, and bleated at her in disgust.'Hey, give me a chance, girls. I'm new around here,' Lexi sang out into the silent countryside, snorting inelegantly as the goats totally ignored her and sauntered off into the long grass under the olive trees on the other side of the road.'Which girls? Lexi? I thought you were working.' Her mother laughed into her earpiece in such a clear voice that it was hard to imagine that she was calling from the basement of an historic London theatre hundreds of miles away. 'Don't tell me. You've changed your mind and taken off with your pals on holiday to spain after all.''Oh, pleasedon't remind me! Nope. The agency made me an offer I couldn't refuse and I am definitely on Paxos,' Lexi replied into the headset, stretching her head forward like a turtle to scan the sunlit road for more stray wildlife. 'You know how it goes. I am the official goto girl when it comes to ghostwriting biographies. And it's always at the last minute. I will say one thing' she grinned 'I stepped off the hydrofoil from Corfu an hour ago and those goats are the first local inhabitants I've met since I left the main road. Ohand did I mention it is seriously hot?''A Greek Island in June? I am so jealous.' Her mother sighed. 'It's such a pity you have to work, but we'll make up for it when you get back. That reminds me. I was talking to a charming young actor just this morning who would love to meet you, and I sort of invited him to my engagement party. I'm sure you'd like him.''Oh, no. Mum, I adore you, and I know you mean well, but no more actors. Not after the disaster with Adam. In fact, please don't set me up with any more boyfriends at all. I'll be fine,' Lexi insisted, trying desperately to keep the anxiety out of her voice and change the subject. 'You have far more important things to sort out without worrying about finding me a boyfriend. Have you found a venue for this famous party yet? I'm expecting something remarkable.''Oh, don't talk to me about that. Patrick seems to acquire more relatives by the day. I thought that four daughters and three grandchildren were more than enough, but he wants the whole tribe there. He's so terribly oldfashioned about these things. Do you know, he won't even sleep with me until his grandmother's ring is on my finger?''Mum!''I know, but what's a girl to do? He's gorgeous, and I'm crazy about him. Anyhow, must goI'm being dragged out to look at gothic chapels. Don't worryI'll tell you all about it when you get back.''Gothic? You wouldn't dare. Anyway, I look terrible in black,' Lexi replied, peering through the windscreen and slowing the car at the entrance to the first driveway she'd seen so far.
