CHAPTER ONE
THERE WERE TIMES when Evie Cooper wished she could clone herself, and this was definitely one of them.
As if it wasnât enough that she felt responsible for the success of this eveningâs gala opening for the Hope Childrenâs Hospital, she was getting bombarded by seemingly urgent text messages from home.
Have you picked up the new test sticks for my blood sugar monitor?
She texted back to her father.
Yes. But I wonât be home till late tonight. Have you got any left?
Think Iâve got one.
Evie briefly considered sending a message that, next time, it might be a good idea to let her know sooner that he was running out but she was distracted by her colleague, Michelle, who was looking flustered.
âThe caterers have arrived. Theyâre asking for you.â
