Tracy Island, Monday, 12th August, evening

Kat was sitting at her computer, reading through her emails. The first one was from Melanie, her brother's fiancée.

Hi Kat,

I'm having your bridesmaid's dress made by the same dressmaker who is making my wedding dress. Therefore, if you send me your measurements now, when you come for the wedding, we can have a fitting. Hopefully it shouldn't need too many alterations. The attachment shows you the design of the dress. Suzi is making Estelle's dress as she is only tiny, and the way kids grow, she will probably have outgrown the one that I would have had made for her.

Our barn conversion is really coming along and will be ready in good time for us to move in after the honeymoon. We're spending it in Thailand. I can hardly wait; I've always wanted to visit that country.

Anyway, I think that's all for now. Andy sends his love and says he can't wait to see you in November, and of course, neither can I.

Love Melly and Andy

p.s. Do you remember my cousin Toby? He says he can't wait to see you again either.

Kat sighed at that last sentence. Oh, yes, I remember Toby. A very intense young man a couple of years younger than she was. On the occasions that they had met, he was always asking if she would go out with him. But his idea of going out was to a museum or an art gallery. She may have been more willing if he had offered to take her to see a show or something slightly more interesting. Putting Toby to the back of her mind, she focused her attention back to the computer screen, and opened the attachment. The picture was of an empire style dress in pale aquamarine velvet, with a sweetheart neckline and long sleeves. The skirt was split down the front to reveal a white lacy underskirt. It looks lovely, she thought.

Kat began to write a reply.

Hi Melly,

Thanks for sending me a picture of the bridesmaid dress; it looks lovely. I agree that Estelle is growing so fast, but I expect she'll look cute. Tim says that being a bridesmaid is all that she talks about. I do hope that Suzi can make the wedding; it would be such a shame if she can't.

I'm glad that the your new home will be ready for you. That must be such a relief. I remember when we went to look at it on my birthday; you didn't think it would be ready in time. Lucky you, going to Thailand, you'll enjoy it. I went there a few years ago and absolutely adored it; I'd love to go again.

Yes, I do remember Toby, is he still wearing those glasses with heavy black frames?

I have some other emails to reply to this evening. Look forward to seeing you in November.

Love Kat

Kat then opened her most recent email from John, and smiling at the contents, she started to reply.

Dear John,

I'm glad you enjoyed our evening together. I wasn't too sure whether you would like a totally vegetarian meal. But as you remarked, they can be incredibly tasty.

I've finished the Secret of Atlantis. That was such an interesting book. There are so many myths and legends surrounding the lost city. But in this book it's so easy to visualise the people and their way of life, and the cataclysm that ended the civilisation. I would love to read the books you have on the Pharaohs and the Aztecs and will ask either Scott or Virgil when I want to borrow some more books. I enjoyed that evening we spent together when you were teaching me Spanish and I am trying to practice a little every day, so I hope you'll notice an improvement when you return.

I had another flying lesson this afternoon, and I certainly felt more confident this time. I was hoping that maybe you could give me a lesson when you are back at base, but Tin-Tin says that it's best to have just one instructor.

I've had an email from Melanie, my brother's fiancée. She sent me a picture of the bridesmaid's dress. It's really lovely. I'm sending it on for you to look at.

That's all my news for now. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Love Kat

Satisfied that the message read okay, she pressed SEND.
