she had mused softly as Francesca had nodded.
    “You know the best stylist on the island is Nicolous…now you normally have to wait weeks for an appointment, but he owes me… would you like me to see if he can fit you in? I can take you there tomorrow”.
    Mina had stared at the other woman, her eyes wide with surprise.
    “I couldn’t ask you to do that” she had said “You have a business to run”.
    Giving a laugh Francesca had shaken her head.
    “With what you just bought I’ve made more in a day than I normally do in a month. Besides it will be fun” she had finished with a grin, Mina smiling back happily.
    The next day as planned Francesca had arrived early at the villa, Yanis smiling widely as she had parked, rushing to lift her into his arms. Looking at the two women he had laughed.
    “Now behave you two” he had joked as Francesca had stuck her tongue out at him wiggling her finger “Not married yet Yanis”, Mina laughing at the antics of the two whilst thinking how well suited they were.
    As promised Francesca had managed to get her an appointment at the exclusive salon, and the two had exchanged pleasantries and hugs before turning to look at Mina. Placing her in the seat, the stylist had moved around, lifting parts of her long hair as he did.
    “You have beautiful hair”.
    He had finally declared.
    “But the style…it will not do”.
    Mina had said nothing as he had looked thoughtfully at her.
    “Do you trust me to make you magnificent Mina?” he had asked, his voice theatrical, Mina flicking a quick look to Francesca who stood behind him, seeing as she had frantically nodded her head. Taking a deep breath she had nodded, Nicolous smiling brightly.
    “Then let the makeover begin” he had declared dramatically, spinning her chair around so that she could not see the mirror. For what seemed an eternity he had snipped and combed, moving around her quickly and decisively, Mina feeling panic rising within her at the amount of hair gathering on the floor. It was only the way that Francesca had kept smiling encouragingly at her now and then giving the ‘you look good’ gesture that had kept her still.
    Finally Nicolous was finished and smiling proudly he had stepped back, his expression that of an artist who knew he had created a masterpiece. Francesca had stood clasping her hands to her breast.
    “Oh my God Mina…you look…wow” Nicolous giving her a warm grin. Moving around to look in the mirror she had gasped loudly.
    Gone was the 12 year olds straight long hair and in its place a chic stylish look.
    He had given her a fringe which flicked sensually over one eye, her still long hair now layered and styled to sit perfectly against her face and body. The style seemed to frame and enhance her stunning green eyes accentuating her high cheekbones. Mina almost not recognising herself.
    Flicking her look to Nicolous she had been speechless as her fingers had run through her hair, seeing as it fell so perfectly back into place. Rising and with a small squeal of delight she had thrown her arms around the stylist hugging him as he had laughed back, before she had pulled back embarrassed by her show. He however had grinned
    “You have been Nicoloused” he had chuckled at her obvious delight, Mina nodding and grinning happily.
    All the way back to the villa both women had chatted animatedly, so comfortable with the other, Mina glad that she had listened to Francesca.
    Arriving home, Yanis had appeared as though he had been waiting for them, his eyes dreamily looking at Francesca before they had grown wider on seeing Mina.
    “M…Mina?” he had stuttered in surprise, his flicking look taking in her new style, as he had raised his eyebrows in appreciation.
    “You look amazing” he had finally declared, his look once more returning to his fiancée.
    “Did I not tell you that she was the best?”, Mina rolling her eyes at Francesca who had laughed while putting her arms around him smiling back “Well
