That evening, I dragged myself to Thurso for my first tae kwon do class since returning to Ardnoch. I was feeling a bit out of shape and ready to get back to it. When we were kids, we had to drive all the way to Inverness for a class, but Dad had told me there were two guys running classes in the same sports center where he held his jujitsu school. One of them was one of his security guards at the estate.

I’d signed up online a few nights before Carianne’s revelation. I considered not going to the class tonight, but in all honesty, I needed the physical exertion and somewhere to focus my hurt and fury.

The last thing I wanted or expected was to walk into the class and find Fyfe at the head of it, chatting with Lewis.

No.

They couldn’t possibly be the guys who ran the class.

Dad would have told me.

I turned as if to bolt, but Fyfe caught sight of me. He wore his white dobok. It had the World Taekwondo badge on the chest.

“Callie.” He patted Lewis on the shoulder and headed over to me, his black belt knotted around his waist. Five gold stripes on the end of it told me Fyfe was now a fifth dan black belt. Wow. From the bloke who couldn’t afford lessons, to a fifth dan black belt. He’d surpassed even me. “I saw your name on the list. Glad to have you in the class.”

I tried not to look beyond him at Lewis. “You’re the instructor?”

Fyfe nodded. “Me and Evan Willis. He’s a security guard at Ardnoch Estate. He runs the Tuesday and Saturday classes.”

“Callie.” Lewis approached. He also wore his whites. His black belt had four gold stripes on one end and three on the other. He’d advanced to seventh degree.

My own belt still only had three because I’d stopped going to gradings while I was in Paris. And gradings were where you were tested to advance to the next level. Now seeing the gold stripes on both Fyfe’s and Lewis’s belts, I felt an old familiar competitiveness rise in the wake of my anger.

“You’re taking this class now too?” I practically spat at Lewis.

His eyebrows rose in surprise. “Is that a problem?”

“No.” I shrugged with an ambivalence I didn’t feel. “Just looking forward to kicking your arse.”

He smirked, assuming this was banter, and pointed at my belt. “You need a few more stripes before that happens.”

Oh, I was so ready to pulverize him.
