She would never forget the next days. Firstly, to a Brynne Thurlow who took one look at Anastacia, bought the story of running from a violent ex-husband and welcomed her into the large, gated home. Brynne didn’t want to talk about Ed but seemed very interested in what Anastacia’s intentions were.

“He’s never bought a woman to my home before.”

“Like he said, I just need a safe bed for a couple of nights.”

“How well do you know him?”

“I could ask you the same.” Anastacia wasn’t going to lie, but the truth needed more alcohol than Brynne held in the house. “These dogs are beautiful,” she couldn’t get out of the armchair for the cuddles from the large boxers. “What are their names.”

“Snap, Crackle and Pop. So, if talking about Ed is off limits, and I gather you don’t want to talk about why you’re really here, how about we push these over-grown puppies outside and make some chocolate brownies.”

After two nights with Brynne, she got packaged off in a cab to another gated home on the northern shore. Amidst million-dollar water-front homes, another graceful brunette opened the door. “I’m Mackenzie, come on in.”

Another smart and beautiful woman, whose eyes softened when talking about Ed, but again was much more interested in her relationship.

“There’s nothing to tell. Sister of a friend.”

“Ed didn’t say a lot—only not to tell anyone I have a house guest and not to ask you too many questions so you don’t have to lie.”

“How is he? When is he coming back?” Anastacia was drowning in the silence.

“Since we can’t go for a walk, how about we curl up and binge watch some television. I’ve sent my kids away to their grandparents for a few days and there are some shows I’ve seriously been missing out on.”

For Brynne, it was cooking, Mackenzie it was television. Two days later and she was being handed over again, this time to a yoga instructor, Breeze.

“That can’t be your real name,” Anastacia laughed at the introductions.

“It was my nickname at the studio and stuck. How about I don’t ask how much of Staci Peters is real, and you don’t ask me about my real name.”

“Fair enough. When did you date Ed?”

“Let’s just say that I moved to the US to be with him, but it didn’t work out.”

“No hard feelings?”

“I loved, I lost, I moved on. So, did he, apparently. What’s your story?”

“Sister of a friend.”

“Well, ‘sister of a friend,’ my instructions were to keep you safe and get you to relax. Apparently, whatever is going on might get worse before it gets better. We need to get you in top shape.”

“How can I work out if I can’t go for a run.”

“Oh, my dear girl, we are going to train your mind.”

“I already know how to do yoga and it doesn’t help.”

Breeze laughed and took her into the yoga studio, “You haven’t done yoga with me.”

She didn’t think that four hours a day of yoga could be exhausting, yet it was. The first night, Anastacia crashed into the deepest sleep she’d had in months.
