Peter and Paul gulped in unison. Melanie flicked through the archive of photographs on her smart-phone and claimed that the pictures of them not kissing or cuddling or holding hands were far more powerful. “This one for example…” she said, showing them a photograph taken four months previously when they were dressed up as schoolgirls. “Anyone might think you always dress as schoolgirls when you do your homework. “And this one…” she added, showing them a much more recent photograph. “…it’s so sweet seeing you helping Peter into his bra.”

“I can handle the flack.” Paul claimed. “I’ll tell the truth about the village hall windows and the years of blackmail… and the fact that it would be you two spreading the photos would prove it.”

“Oh you think so do you?” Audrey asked. “The simplest explanation is always the correct one, and a couple of sissy boys playing dress-up is a lot more believable than a dastardly plot involving vandalism and blackmail.”
