I'm reading Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market.

From Chapter 5:
It came as no great surprise that Dad had chosen not to join Mum on the doorstep in the dark to wish me luck on that first morning of trading. He has barely said a word during dinner the previous evening as I chatted about the things I would be selling and I was rather resigned that instead of applauding my resourcefulness he was going to continue ignoring my efforts because I had not fallen in with his plans.
