across the table from him, Nik wore her rainbow Andes hat with a skimpy T-shirt and
    ripped-at-the-knee jeans. “Isn’t it awfully hot for the hat?”
    “S’pose so.” Grabbing the top, she pulled it off. Edward gasped. His little sister with the golden
    brown hair was sporting a do reminiscent of Sinéad O’Connor in the ’80s.
    “Good God, Nik. Mum and Dad will have myocardial infarctions when they see you.”
    “Is that Eddie-speak for a heart attack?” She ran her hand over the quarter inch of hair remaining
    on her scalp. “My mate in the squat did it last night. I really like it.”
    Still in shock he muttered, “I suppose it matches the nose ring. But really, Nicoletta, what were
    you thinking?”
    “Not too much at the time. I was a bit stoned.”
    A well-built man in a white apron approached the table with a pad and pencil in his hand. “You
    again?” He looked directly into Edward’s eyes. “You’d better not cause any trouble this time.”
    “No, no, I won’t,” he stammered. “Sorry about that.” He ignored the question in Nik’s face. “I’ll
    have the Thai rice bowl with curried tofu. And a glass of white wine.” Last time he hadn’t got to eat
    it.
    “I’ll have the same,” Nik said. The man walked away without writing down their orders.
    “Eddie, what the hell did you do here?”
    “Nothing, really. It was Fox. Speaking of which, I haven’t heard a word from him since Utopia. I
    mean, Regent’s Park.” That night had begun so beautifully and ended so weirdly and painfully. “I
    hope he’s all right. I should have called the police, but it took me twenty minutes to find my phone,
    and they were long gone.”
    “Was that when you got your shiner polished?” She nodded at his eye.
    “Mmmm. It’s been two days, and before that it was more than a week. He said he’d been busy.
    He doesn’t have a mobile, so I have no way to get hold of him.” The wine arrived promptly, making
    them pause to take a mouthful. But when Edward looked at his sister again, she was looking down
    into her glass. Nik rarely had a thought that she did not express at once, and even Eddie, who was
    hopeless at reading body language, knew something was ready to burst forth. “What? Have you seen
    him?”
    Nik nodded. “I saw him in class today.”
    “In class? What do you mean, in class? In your classes at UAL?”
    A long sigh escaped her. She sat up straight, looking him in the eye. “I told him to phone you. I
    told him if he didn’t that I was going to tell you everything, and obviously he hasn’t.”
    “Tell me what?”
    “Eddie, I’m sorry. I should have told you on your birthday at home. I’ve met Fox before. I was
    shocked to see him at the farm. I had no idea he was the bloke you were going out with. You never
    mentioned his name.”
    Stunned at the revelation, Edward waited. The food arrived, but he didn’t even look at it.
    “He goes to University of the Arts London. He’s in my college, Wimbledon, and we’re in
    several classes together.”
    While Edward took in the information, Nik, who would not lose her appetite during a tsunami,
    began to eat. With another slug of wine inside him, Edward watched his sister for a minute. She
    finished a mouthful and put her fork down. “All right, Bro, here it is. Brace yourself.”
    Eddie remained silent while Nik spoke.
    “He doesn’t live on the streets, I’ll tell you that much, and I’ve no idea why he told you he did.
    He arrives at school clean and fed. And he does have a mobile and a laptop. Not to mention the fees
    for UAL, which are not cheap, as you know. Even if he got student assistance, he’d need an address
    and a bank account. So he lives somewhere.”
    Edward’s appetite fled along with his sense of self-worth that had been building steadily since
    meeting Fox. Sitting back in his seat, he pushed his bowl away. “Why did he not tell me the truth?
    Why make up such a stupid story?”
    Nik lunged into her rice bowl once more. “How did you meet?” she asked with her mouth full.
    The last thing he intended to do was tell his little sister he had paid Fox for sex, then had his
    computer stolen by him. He was already humiliated beyond measure. After grabbing his wineglass by
    the stem, he downed the remains. “Why would he lie to me?”
    Nik finished her rice and tofu and took a large drink of her wine. “Eddie.”
    “Oh, don’t call me Eddie. It reminds me of him.”
    “I’ve always called you
