I took Laura’s hand and gave it a quick squeeze. I knew she would be feeling embarrassed so I said, ‘Let’s change the subject.’ ‘Good idea,’ Ion said. ‘So what do you guys do? When you’re not travelling?’ ‘Laura works in marketing,’ I said. ‘For a children’s charity.’ ‘Interesting.’ ‘It’s really not,’ said my girlfriend. ‘But you’re doing something good.’ Laura sipped her beer. As the biggest lightweight I’d ever met, she would be tipsy by the time she’d finished. ‘It’s better than selling Coke,’ she said. Ion widened his eyes. ‘I mean Coca-Cola.’
