She was some way off, but Ana knew it was her. Olivia’s face and body were etched on her brain like indelible ink. She would know her anywhere.

A man was with her, and they were watching the sheep shearing competition. Ana’s heart quickened and her hands shook. She swallowed several times to relieve the dryness of her throat and heard herself say hoarsely, ‘Shall we watch the sheep shearing?’

‘Sure,’ said Matt, but Ana didn’t move.

She’d imagined this moment so many times. She had practised what she’d say over and over again, but she hadn’t prepared herself for the fear that now gripped her insides and paralysed her legs.

Olivia turned, saw Ana, and waved. At that moment, Ana felt the bile rush up into her oesophagus and she struggled to keep it down. She waved back and then grabbed Matt’s hand, aware that her own was rather sweaty. She kept her face averted from the man, who was still intently watching the shearing.

‘Hi,’ said Olivia. ‘It’s good fun, isn’t it?’ She waved a hand to take in the fair.

Ana turned her attention to the back of the man standing next to Olivia.

‘This is Matt, my work colleague,’ said Ana. Ana realised her mistake immediately by the hurt look on Matt’s face. Shit, she should have said friend, not work colleague.

‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ said Olivia. ‘This is Ana,’ she said to the man beside her. ‘She lives opposite me. I told you about her. Ana, this is my boyfriend…’

Olivia’s voice became fainter, and it seemed to Ana that she was falling into an abyss. She felt her legs give way and she grabbed Matt’s arm.

He looked at her oddly. ‘You okay?’ he said softly.

The man turned around and held out his hand to Ana.
