The next day, Zoe had arranged for her chefs and her waiting staff to run the diner, as she prepared to try to deal with some of the issues that were haunting her. The only way to deal with them was to face them head on, so she needed to see the woman who had caused some of the issues in the first place, and that meant returning to her home town of Brixham in Devon.

She spent the car journey thinking about the diner and what she would like to add to the autumn menu. She’d discuss it with her chefs, obviously, but also liked to think about what local seasonal produce could be brought into the food they offered the customers. It was easier to think about the diner and food than to think about her past or about her present. She did this whenever she needed to let her subconscious mull something over, and it had proved to be quite effective when emotion threatened to overwhelm her.

With it being a Thursday, the traffic wasn’t too bad. When she reached her destination, following three hours of travelling – which included two comfort breaks along the way – her stomach clenched. Perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea, but then what else could she do? She didn’t even know if either of the people she wanted to see would be there – highly doubted that he would be – and wondered again at her wisdom in coming back.

But she was here now, so she’d just as well stretch her legs and see what happened. She found a space in the car park then strolled down to the harbour. It was strange coming back after so long. She’d moved around a lot in her previous life, the one she’d led before settling in Conwenna, and the only place she’d had roots before Conwenna Cove was in Brixham. But now that was like a dream she’d once had.

Zoe wandered along the harbour, taking in the familiar views that also seemed so different. The day was warm and the sun now high in the sky, shining down on the numerous fishing boats at the quayside where she knew locals would be selling their daily catch caught on their trawlers and day boats. She glanced behind her at the town, admiring the colourful houses that cascaded down either side of the harbour, the mixture of old and new architecture. This had once been her home, she had grown up here; now she was like a stranger in a place full of ghosts.

She hugged herself, suddenly cold in her white T-shirt, jeans and sandals. She’d left her cardigan in the car and could go back to get it but she worried that if she did, she might drive straight back to Cornwall. No, she was here, and she would do this. If she left now, she’d regret it and she was getting tired of regrets.

All along the front sat shops and cafes. Zoe
