"Sorry sorry,” Raj said with a fiery blush. “Yes, Coventry.” Satish watched Raj in amusement. “I’ve just come to see Mother,” Raj motioned to the house. “Maybe I should stay for tea."
Raj started to sob. Then he started to cry. Then he began to wail and a frightened Jane held him close. He poured his heart out to her. Simon and Ayati. What he wanted and what he needed.
"She needs to be with her mother.” Raj kissed Simon gently on the mouth. “We cannot let another chance go by. We will bring back one more to love,” Simon kissed Raj back, tears streaming down his face.

When I first lived in London I was broke. I remember specifically walking through one and a half towns to get to a Tube Station within a cheaper fare zone. Years later I visited London on business, with an expense account. It wasn’t exactly Patani luxury, but it was certainly more upmarket. London always strikes me as a very expensive city, where the rich have to be very rich. It’s the perfect location for the indulgence and opulence that money can provide.
