“No”, said Alexander, “absolutely not. This Magic Hugs business is all complete nonsense and I am not prepared to listen to it anymore”. He folded his arms and glared at Jim, Simon and Anna looking so much like Ben it was comical.
“Martha is clearly a disturbed young woman and”
“She isn’t” began Jim
“Who needs help” continued Alexander as if he hadn’t spoken “and I intend to help her. What I will not do is indulge this hug business for one more minute”
Anna smiled sweetly at Jim and Simon. “Would you mind leaving us alone?” she said “I’d like to speak with my husband in private”
Jim and Simon nodded and left the room. Jim looked downcast,
“cheer up” said Simon nudging him playfully, “my money is on Anna”
When they were alone, Anna turned to her husband
“so” she said “you are not prepared to listen and you are not prepared to help?”
“no” said Alexander looking down at his wife feeling somewhat less confident than he sounded. She may be a foot smaller than him but she was not in any way to be trifled with. He winced as he remembered a works do early in his career when he was still a junior doctor and one of the consultants had made the mistake of rubbing against her rather to closely when they danced. It was amazing what damage a well aimed heel could do to a man’s groin. Thank god they’d had plenty of ice!
She looked at him and sniffed disdainfully “always you have lacked imagination”
“I merely believe in what I see and what I can prove”
“Слабоумный! (idiot)” you can see if you would only look! Do you think that poor girl would behave like that normally? When her friends tell us she wouldn’t? And when Mathew tells you the same happened to Ben?”
“Benjamin has always had too much imagination! He gets that from you”
“He does” anna was shouting now “and you should be grateful he does and is not stuck up and высокомерный (arrogant) like you” she continued glaring up at him, her blue eyes flashing, her cheeks flushed and looking altogether far too beautiful
“Anna there’s no need to shout”
“oh Alexander” Anna ran her finger down his shirt, “what harm could it do just to help? If I am wrong, then I am wrong but no-one gets hurt”
She put her head on one side and looked up at him
“please” she whispered looking up, blue eyes glimmering through thick lashes
“Anna..” he could feel himself weakening “I shouldn’t”
She put her arms round him “please” she said again
“I....”
She stroked his face
“I...OK”
“Thank you” she said “have I told you are a wonderful man and I love you?”
He smiled down at her “i don’t know what you see in a высокомерный Слабоумный like me”
“ah” she stood on tiptoe and kissed him “because you are also моя единственная настоящая любовь (my one true love)
