Grace didn’t know why she’d felt the need to pull the car over and tell Chrissie her news. She supposed it was due to shock and an overwhelming feeling to just tell someone what had happened. As if she was going to rescue them all from the awful nightmare they were in, erasing it out for them. Like deleting a screen full of words and changing the whole story. But Grace knew it didn’t work like that because they were the ones floating out on the choppy sea, whilst the world carried on around them, as they slowly became dots on the horizon.

But there was more to it than just wanting to share her awful news. She’d spotted Chrissie in the street and it wasn’t in Grace’s nature to stop the car and tell someone something, especially when they were with someone she didn’t know. She’d normally wait even under such tragic circumstances. But she’d felt it was important to tell Chrissie, and she did know why deep down. Grace was finding the secret about Tim almost too much to bear. And the news of Alice had only heightened the urge to tell someone. Grace was torn between telling the police and following through with her plans. She carried an awful guilt around, knowing she was privy to information so many people were desperate to know. And would she really go through with her plans? It had been over a year already. She’d often visualised doing it to see if she was really serious about it. Most of the time she was, but then she had moments of feeling really scared and aware of how huge it was to take another person’s life, however evil they were. To take someone else’s fate into your own hands seemed quite an arrogant decision to make. Perhaps telling Chrissie wouldn’t be as monumentally explosive as she thought. Maybe Chrissie would agree with her plans once she knew the full story?

No, no, no! What was she thinking? Grace nearly collided into the back of a stationary car; she was so engrossed in her thoughts. It jolted her back to reality, and after the car had screeched to a halt, she became starkly aware of what she’d just thought, and knew she must keep quiet.

The key to getting rid of anyone, alongside making it look like suicide, was not to tell another soul. Tim had taught her that. Times changed, people’s views altered and then you had to trust them not to tell anyone. The only person you could really rely on was yourself. Grace stopped herself again; she was beginning to sound like Tim. What on earth was happening to her?

She banged her hands on the steering wheel as if to jolt herself out of it, and pulled into the familiar drive of her sister’s house.

All was quiet when she went in. She called to Eve but there was no reply.

She unloaded the bags onto the kitchen table and made her way through the house looking for her.
