Gary had to admit it was bizarre.

             But he also had his suspicions.

             just for the attention. Josie had

             certainly made enough fuss of her


             once they’d snuffed out the candles

             and reset the alarm. Uncle Tom had


             even gone down to the kitchen and

             come back minutes later with a mug


             of hot chocolate for her. Hmm, well,

             Gary didn’t get what all the fuss was


             about. Hadn’t it been Lauren’s fault

             the alarm had scared the life out of


             them?

             a couple of minutes we did all think

             the house was actually on fire!”

                                                                  55
