I got another shock when I met his girlfriend.
I could see why she hadn't come up the drive with him.
Her name was Celia.
She was a beautiful blonde girl, looked about fifteen but she was probably seventeen, and ready to give birth at any moment as far as I could see.
She was a slight little thing apart from the bulge.
Great big blue eyes.
And you know the way that some pregnant women can almost radiate happiness and well-being?
Well, she was like that.
She sort of... lit up the inside of that little van with her own inner light, if you know what I mean.
