Okay, so I’m over-egging it again. She was far from pretty but attractive in a certain, rough and ready sort of a way. Her appearance worked for me, anyhow.
Half an hour into the lesson she held up her hand. Yet another absolutely useless IT teacher made a vain attempt to answer her query before scurrying away to help a bleached bottle-blonde.
I tapped the (even more ferociously) glowering skinhead on her arm. ‘This is what he meant,’ I began.
Two minutes and ten of my concise sentences later I saw a light bulb go on over that frowning brow.
‘So simple when you know,’ she said. Then, thrusting out a meaty hand: ‘I’m Stan.’
‘Dave,’ I said, shaking her paw.
‘Fancy a drink afterwards?’
I grinned back into her eyes. ‘Thought you’d never ask.’

Author’s Note: Thank you yet again for reading more about Davina. Alternative versions of her story (some of them “alternative” indeed!) are available on Smashwords (see “Other books by LimeyLady” on the next page, specifically the New Beginnings series and Two Sides to Every Story).
And, if you like tales with a strong female lead, check out the Heather Hunter series. Heather really is something else.
