‘Hello?’ Lily almost whispers. ‘Is that Mrs Monrose?’

‘No,’ says the quietly spoken woman, ‘I think you may have the wrong number.’

‘No, I’m sorry, I know that’s not your name. Of course. My name is Lily. I spoke to you a few weeks ago. After the marriage to your son.’

There is a short, tense silence. ‘I’m sorry,’ says the woman, ‘I still think you have the wrong number. I don’t have a son. I don’t know anyone called Lily.’

‘But this number. It is on my husband’s phone bill. It is the number he called when I spoke to his mother. After our wedding. It is you.’

‘I think there has been some confusion,’ says the woman. ‘A misprint, maybe. I don’t have a son. I don’t have any children at all.’

‘But I recognise your voice!’

‘No,’ she says vaguely, ‘no, I don’t think so.’

Lily can hear her voice becoming distant as she moves the phone away from her ear. She shouts, ‘You are his mother! Why are you lying?’ Then she stops, reins in her temper. ‘He’s missing, you know?
