Sarah

‘Where are you?’ Libby managed to keep her voice calm.

‘I'm in the hotel. Mum, I don't know what to do.’

Libby guessed he was pacing, unable to settle. ‘Sit down, breathe out, and tell me what happened.’

‘Sarah and I had a row, yesterday. It wasn't anything really, just one of those stupid arguments about which restaurant to choose. I wanted to eat in the hotel and she wanted to go somewhere new.’

‘That doesn't sound too serious. Did she drive off in a huff, or something?’

‘No, nothing like that. We made it up. I took her out to the restaurant she wanted, though I don't know why she was so keen to go there. It wasn't as nice as this place.’

Libby forced herself to be patient. ‘So when did she disappear?’

‘We finished our steaks and the waitress brought the dessert menu. Sarah can't resist a dessert. She's a Pavlova and chocolate tart kind of a girl, but before she'd even ordered, she went to the ladies and didn't come back.’

‘You mean, she left the restaurant?’

‘She took the car. I had to get a taxi.’

At least, if she'd taken the car, it was Sarah's choice to leave. She hadn't been abducted. Libby had been letting her imagination run away. She opened her mouth to ask questions, but closed it again. She'd never discoverthe truth over the telephone. Instead, she said, ‘I'm on my way. Don’t move until I arrive.’
