“How’s the yoga going?” Dave asked, having
watched her practice in the garden.
“Good. I like it.”
“You go to that retreat, don’t you?” he added.
Kelly’s heart dropped as Johnny suddenly
looked up. “What retreat?”
“The one down the back road over Forsham way,”
Dave volunteered, not realising this was the first Johnny had heard of
it.
“I hadn’t told you because I didn't think
you'd be interested," she lied.
“Since when do you keep things to yourself? Of
course, I'm interested.”
Dave stood up, aware that he had caused a
little trouble. “Sorry, I didn’t realise it was a secret. I’m gonna get
showered and burn these clothes. Get the stink of pig off me.”
Pete stood too. “Yeah, thanks for the coffee,
I’ve got some stuff I need to be doing.”
That left her and Johnny looking at one
another. “Tell me about this retreat?” he said as the door closed.
“There is nothing to tell, really. I came
across it one day and liked what I saw. I go a couple times a week. The rest of
the time I practise in the garden. I just need something for myself,
Johnny.”
“You don’t need anything more than what I
provide for you.”
She sighed. “I know, generally, it is enough,
but I want to stay healthy and looking good for you. It’s important to me
too.”
“I don’t like you keeping anything from me. I
like to know exactly what goes on in my organisation. You know that. It’s the
only way I can control everything.”
“It’s not part of your organisation. It’s just
something I like to do.”
“You are part of it. You play an integral part
of it. I’m the one who says what’s good for you, K, not you. So, tell me more
about this retreat and let me decide.”
