“Was it you they were talking about?” Anna whispered. She nodded, laughing quietly. “Then why are you in that dress? Weren’t you meant to be at the party?”
“That was earlier. It’s late now. I’m supposed to be in bed. You heard. Are you allowed to stay up all night?”
Anna shook her head. “No, I’ll have to go soon anyway—” she paused, remembering the way she had come. “Is it your boat?” she whispered.
“Yes, of course. I left it on purpose for you. But I didn’t know you couldn’t row!” They chuckled together in the darkness, and Anna felt suddenly tremendously happy.
“How did you know I was here?” she asked. “Have you seen me?”
“Yes, often.”
“But I thought you’d only just come!”
The girl laughed again, then clapped her hand over her mouth. She leaned towards Anna and whispered in her ear, so that it tickled. “Silly, of course not! I’ve been here ages.”
“How long?” Anna whispered back.
“A week at least,” there was a teasing note in her voice. “Ssh! Come down now and I’ll row you back.”
In the boat Anna said, “Have you been watching me?”
The girl nodded. “Hush! Voices carry over the water.”
Anna lowered her voice. “I had a feeling you were. Sometimes I even looked round to see who it was, looking and looking like that – but you were never there.”
