Molly stared up at the ceiling above her. The whole room was grey. Everywhere in this building was grey. What a dismal life to live, she thought. She swiped a stray tear from her cheek when she realised that this may be her life for some time. All night, she had lain in this bed, and not once had she been tempted to close her eyes.

Yesterday had been spent with the lawyer that Mason had arranged for her. She’d been questioned by him and questioned by cops, but she couldn’t give them the answers that they wanted. It was clear that as far as they were concerned they had their man. They hadn’t budged an inch, or been interested in what she said. All they seemed to want was the confession that she couldn’t give.

Then at some point, she was shoved in here with a plastic tray of cold food, and left alone. Eating hadn’t been on her to-do list, her stomach still roiled. So she had settled on the bed, and listened. Doors opened and closed, voices shouted, and locks slammed into place. Each echo picked one more stitch from her broken heart.

The concept of mending her battered heart again seemed insurmountable. Her life had been spent sewing the anguished organ back together. And just when she thought it was healing, someone else would come along and unpick her work.

Everything with Blake had happened so quickly, but it was he who plagued her. Dark shadows rippled across the ceiling and she supposed it must be raining this morning. The line of night had crept up one wall and down the other until it gave way to the sun. But she had no idea what time it was. They had taken her watch, all of her jewellery actually, and her shoes and scarf.

The scarf she supposed she could understand, but she had to wonder how many people killed themselves with a four inch spiked heel. The name was worse than the tool. She couldn’t imagine having the strength to put it through her skull and it didn’t have the sharpness to cut her wrists or her neck.

She squeezed her eyes shut and wrapped her elbows around her head until her hands sank into her hair at the back of her skull. Trying to block out the noises of this place was like trying to block out her own thoughts; both were proving impossible. Despite her family history, she had never thought so much about death in her life as she did in here over the course of one night. Which was significant, when she considered that she had lost everyone in her life to the abyss.

Blake filled her head again, but she wanted to forget him because she wanted to hate him. He had lied to her and humiliated her. She had believed him. More than that, she had cared about him. She had allowed herself to fall for him. It didn’t matter that she had only known him for a short time, their attraction had been undeniable, their connection instinctual.
