Juniper sat next to Marianne and watched Henry out of the corner of her eye across the expanse of the table. She was glad that he had come back to sit with them, and almost felt bad at the teasing that she had given to him, but the way he had been carrying on since he had returned was enough to give that feeling up.

Marianne turned to her in between songs. “Juniper is such a lovely name, but so different. How did you come by it?”

“My mum was a student abroad one year here at Oxford. She is the Birkenstock, long flowy dress hippie.” She smiled. “My dad was a lecturer, and they had a brief affair. My mum went home to America and found out a month or so later she was pregnant with me.”

Marianne smiled. “Sounds kinda romantic.”

“I mean, I guess ultimately it was. My dad was still married to his first wife, but he was absolutely besotted with my mum and pretty much from the moment that she left, he started the process of trying to get divorced. The marriage was ending anyway, so they got divorced, my dad went to America to get my mum, and they have lived happily ever after since then.” She laughed. “I am their only child, but they make it work.”

She smiled. “Is your father a hippie, too?”

“Oh god no, he’d wear tweed to bed if mum allowed him. They are the very definition of opposites attract.” Juniper laughed. “They are so different but to watch them together is amazing. I was lucky. I grew up in a house with a lot of love, a lot of freedom of expression and a lot of being able to choose who I want to be.”

“I had hoped we did that for the boys.” She smiled. “Henry is the fourth of five boys.” Marianne motioned to him. “And he is the one, from the moment he was born, that I worried about.”

Juniper raised her eyebrow. “Why?”

“He wasn’t going to take over the title like Piers, Niki joined the Marines, Simon went on to university where he teaches and Charlie went into finance,” she said quietly. “Henry was always so lost.”

Juniper looked over him and caught him looking at her. He quickly averted his eyes. “He seems to have found a spot here.”

“Only because his father forced him.” She sighed. She leaned in to Juniper. “Frankly, I don’t think that Anya being here is a happy coincidence. I think my eldest son and daughter-in-law are trying to rekindle that relationship.”

Juniper looked over at Anya who had her hand possessively on Henry’s back. “She seems to think it’s going well.”

She sighed. “I wish it wasn’t. The last time they were together, it was nothing but ugliness and heartbreak. He may look big and imposing but underneath all of that is a sweet soft boy.” She smiled. “He is kind-hearted and fiercely loyal.”

Juniper nodded her head. “I’ve gathered as much, in the short time I’ve known him.”

Marian looked at her. “Maybe you two should give it a go.”

Juniper looked at the older woman. “Are you out of your mind?” She shook her head. “Oh no, Henry is nothing like any of the men I have ever dated, he is most definitely not my type at all.” She shook her head. “No.”

Marianne smiled a little. “Then why do you keep staring at him?”

#####

Juniper sat in her garden and thought about the events of the night before. She had actually enjoyed herself. Henry, after the initial few moments, had left her mostly alone. Just the occasional, ‘Can you’ statement. She wasn’t sure why she was so mad about the fact that he had been like that.

There was nothing between them, yet every time she saw him, something in her wanted to hear his voice. It was completely irrational. He was not the type of man she went for, or even had dated in the past. But there was something about him that was endearing. And the suggestion from his mother made her even more upset.

She made a noise in her disgust and took a drink of her coffee. She couldn’t spend another week thinking about him. She could hardly believe that she had spent most of the last week thinking about his annoyingly handsome face. She sighed and stood up, heading into the house. Her mobile phone was going off; it was Madeleine. She smiled and picked it up, putting it to her ear.

“Morning, you're up early for the morning after a show,” she said.

“Well, when your boyfriend wakes up and wants to fool around, you oblige him.” She laughed. “Now that he is sated, wanna get breakfast?”

“Okay, honestly Mad, we have had the ‘I do not need any details about your sex life’ discussion.” Juniper pulled a face, laughing a little. “Breakfast sounds good. The usual spot?”

“Absolutely, I will see you in twenty,” Madeleine replied.

Juniper stood up, heading into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom. She threw on a pair of coveralls and a cute shirt underneath, and headed down and out to the street. She would just walk to the small cafe that was about halfway between the two houses. She was happy to get out and exercise her legs.

She walked into the cafe and headed to the counter. The girl behind it looked up and smiled. “Madeleine coming?” the server asked. “Are you going to want the usual, Juniper?”

She nodded. “Yes, thank you Kate, I’m going to get us a table outside.”

“I’ll bring it out.” She called back to her.

Juniper threw a thumbs up at the girl and headed out to sit at their usual table outside. She looked around and watched as people came and went. Soon she saw Madeleine walking up. She sat down across from Juniper and smiled. “Ordered already?”

“Of course. Kate is working, so we can be sure it’ll be correct,” she replied.

Madeleine sat in her seat and smiled. “So, did you have fun last night? I know you don’t usually stay as long as you did.”

She smiled. “I did have fun. All things considered.” She shrugged. “I think it would have been more fun if certain people had not been there.”

“Juniper, he wasn’t that bad.” Madeleine looked at her, her eyebrow raised.

“What makes you think I was talking about him?” Juniper replied. “He was tolerable last night. Once I took the piss out of him, he honestly hardly talked.”

“Oh, then Anya?” Madeleine asked. Juniper shot her a look. “I am a little confused. If you want nothing to do with Hen, then why are you worried about the girl?”

Juniper sighed deeply and didn’t answer. She was saved by the arrival of coffee and food, which gave her even more time to think. Finally she spoke. “She’s just not right for him. You could tell how uncomfortable he was around her. Marianne said that she had broken his heart.”

Madeline looked at her, a small smile on her lips. “You suddenly care about his feelings?”

“Yes, in so much that he is a person.”Juniper answered quickly. “Don’t read too much into this, Maddy. I am not in any way, shape, or form attracted to Henry.”

Madeleine sat back and took a drink of her coffee and looked at her best friend. “Then why has every conversation we have had in the last week somehow going back to a certain Mr. Cavill?”

Juniper glared at her. “Not every conversation.”

“No, not every one, but most of them. Juniper, there is nothing wrong with admitting that you find him attractive and that you are attracted to him. My god, Joey and I both are attracted to him. It’s not a terrible thing.”

“It may not be a terrible thing, but it is not something that I even...ugh, you know what I don’t want to talk about him any more,” she said. “Let’s talk about anything else.”

Madeleine laughed a little and nodded. “Okay, but this whole conversation isn’t over.”

“Yes, it is, I don’t want to hear about him any more,” Juniper replied. “I am done.”
