Cara—it’s so weird calling you that, but we both know you can’t be anyone else now.

How are you? I hope you’re doing okay. As we discussed, it’s important that you remain under the radar while I deal with things here, so stick to the rules we set: no makeup; look as drab as possible so no man will be interested in you. Per our discussion, set light to my letters once you’ve read them, no matter how much you want to keep them. I know how it feels to get rid of them, believe me, but it must be done. It killed me to hold your words over a match this morning and put the blackened bits in the bin, but we have to do it. We can’t have anything linking us to what happened.

Bit of an update from the police. They crisped up well, that pair of fuckers, reduced to nothing but charred bones. The row you started with them is the talk of the village, people discussing it in the post office of all places. Still, better than the church. Can you imagine God going nuts over it all? As Mum and Dad would say, we’re evil, but who burned first? They did, and now they’re burning in Hell itself.

I heard them rabbiting, those women, the ringleader the usual Mrs Miller, and I wanted to kick her fucking head in, gossiping about you like that. I didn’t, though, of course I didn’t, but the anger was there all the same. They’re saying it couldn’t be you because you ran away hours before the fire happened. The plan worked, so it’s just me to get off the hook now. But I’ll get off it, you’ll see, and no one will know what we did—to them or with each other.

Things would have gone on as normal if Mum and Dad hadn’t found out. They always were nosy bastards, poking into our business. Well, no more. We’re free. I’ll never forget their abuse, though, and our dad a man of God, too. Those parishioners—they’re so blind to what he was, taken in by his preaching.

Anyway, my alibi is standing strong for now, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t stay that way. The police have interviewed me twice, and you know what DS Grange is like. Thick as two short planks.

Now, the thing is, I’ve been thinking. I shouldn’t join you yet. It would look bad, obvious, if I left the village as well so soon after you did. So you stay where you are in Fremlington, enjoying the seaside, and I’ll come to you in a couple of years when the dust has settled. Or the ash. LOL.

Don’t go crazy about that. Keep calm and your head down. Two years will fly by in no time. And don’t go killing anyone without me there. You’re not ready to go solo yet, so keep that knife to yourself until we’re together again, all right? Think about what we did to Cara Greene.
