Kat and Avery sat on the white leather couch in Avery’s bedroom looking out at the waves. “Dad wants to hire bodyguards. Mum wants to get me a puppy that will grow into my guard dog. She won’t get a full grown dog because she wouldn’t trust him. I’m their only child. I know they just want to protect me. I think they feel they let me down. They feel guilty for me being hurt, and I feel guilty for being hurt.”

Kat touched Avery’s arm. “I’m my parents’ only child too. The guilt thing is horrible. When I first started getting better and wasn’t so sorry for myself, I wondered if the bastards responsible felt guilt for what they did to me and Courtney.”

“Do you think they do?”

“I have no idea. I don’t think the arsehole who hurt you and Sheridan does or he wouldn’t have done it twice. We think he did it for power.”

“He’s jealous. He kept calling me a rich, stuck up C-word. I didn’t like that word before he called me it. Now, it’s so much worse.” Tears poured down Avery’s cheeks. “He said I’d been handed everything on a platter and I was a fucking little princess. That I had it easy and had never had to earn anything. He said I’d never consider a real man or let a real man inside me, then he…”

Kat put her arms around Avery. “We’ll find him, and we’ll stop him.”

“How?”

“We need to find out what he looks like and…”

“I could try drawing him. Dad calls art my fluff subject, but I love it. I’m not great at faces, but I can try.”

Kat sat up straighter. “That would really help. Did you see him before it happened?”

“I don’t think so. He was wearing jeans and a hoodie. I didn’t think much of it as it’s still chilly in the morning. I’ll never forget his face now, but before he just kinda looked like everyone else. Brown hair, brown eyes, not hot, not ugly, not short, not tall, not fat but not buff or anything. I didn’t see any tats either. You or Damon would be easy to describe, but I’ll try to draw him.”

“Would you prefer to draw him while I’m here or another time? Not at night. That will probably just give you bad dreams.”

“I get loads of them already. I don’t need any more. Is it okay if I draw him tomorrow morning? I’d much rather spend time with you now and maybe learn some self-defence.”

“Absolutely. Would you like to learn some self-defence now?”

“Yes, please. We’ve got a big room downstairs near the pool that would be perfect. I’d love to go for a swim with you when I’m allowed. The surgeon says I’ve got to keep chlorine off my face for a while.”

Kat felt so bad for her and wasn’t sure exactly what to say. She looked at the huge four poster bed in the middle of the room. “I love your bed.”

“Maybe we can have a sleepover soon?” Avery bit her bottom lip, nervous Kat would say no.
