As Sander drives her up the M2 motorway, Penny cries. Occasionally, unpredictably, the tears stop, and she attempts to phone her sister, then her nephew, yet again. But neither of them are answering their phones. It’s most upsetting.

Martin, who she has spoken to, has promised to phone her back the second he finds out where his wife and son have vanished to. But that doesn’t stop Penny calling him twice during the journey, just in case.

By the time they reach the halfway point, she feels all cried out and just sits, numbly, watching the countryside spin past. Occasionally she glances at her phone again to check, but the only text is from Will letting her know that he and Ben have arrived in Whitstable, and that the kids (who, still sleeping when they left, have not yet been told of their grandmother’s death) are both fine. Which is at least one thing she doesn’t have to worry about.

On arrival at Vivian Court, they are led into the manager’s office and offered cups of horrible, bitter coffee.

“I can do this for you,” Sander tells Penny for the third time. “You don’t need to be here.”

“She’s my mother,” Penny breathes. “Well, she was.”

“OK,” Sander says, reaching for Penny’s hand.

“Don’t do that,” Penny says, snatching her hand away. “Don’t be nice to me or I’ll cry. And I need not to cry. At least until we’re out of this horrible place.”
