They’d entered the compound minutes before, the white gates sliding open to reveal a neatly paved road flanked by rows of houses. This house, however, was the biggest of them all. It stood proud on top of a small hill, wild flowers nearly hiding the green of the grass bordering it. It looked idyllic, Faye thought, if only it wasn’t in the middle of her newest nightmare. She wasn’t ready to meet everyone! The door opened and she looked up, Jake’s body hiding the sun from her. He looked so forbidding like this. Tall and wide and his presence so huge she wondered, and not the first time, how he could be her husband. How she could have fallen into this new life of hers. “Ready?” he asked her as he held out his hand. She shook her head but let herself be pulled out of the car anyway. Sofia was already standing beside him, all smiles and happiness at the prospect of being back home. The other woman had been both a blessing and a curse over the past weeks.
