CHAPTER TWO

Aurora awoke to find Clint had already left for work and Kojo had gone out with his mates. It was the summer holidays and they were still yet to register him at a school for the autumn term at the local school. She did not think it likely that Kojo would want to come back with them once they got back to London, so she would hold off on contacting the schools until after they had returned to Manchester.

The sun was shining through the bedroom window and Aurora already felt her skin prickling with sweat and once more longed for the baby to arrive so she would not have to suffer in the heat so much. She swung her legs off the bed and padded into the bathroom.

She hoped that Clint was feeling more positive today about London. She understood his fears and she wished that things could have been different; but as much as she wished it weren’t true, Clint had been there when Troy had stabbed her sister, ended poor, beautiful Shan’s life, and if he testified in court against Troy it was a small price to pay for giving justice to her beloved sister.

Sometimes she regretted forgiving Clint so easily. She had been sick – with grief, shock and anger – when she had realised that her boyfriend had been involved in her sister’s murder, but then Clint had put his life at risk by finally exposing Troy’s actions to the police. Her fear and her love for Clint had driven the anger from her mind and she had not questioned herself as she had fled the capital with him. As their first days in Manchester had crept past, the fear slowly lifting from them and reality setting in, she had begun to doubt her decision. No matter how hard she might try, she could not look at Clint in the same adoring way she once had, for a part of her always reminded her that his sparkling eyes, that she could once have gazed into for hours, had witnessed Troy thrust the knife into her sister.

She loved Clint. She really did, she thought, but were some things unforgivable? Perhaps she would always love him, but would never be able to truly accept or forgive that he had been involved in Shaniqua’s death, even if he had helped bring Troy to justice and had not wanted her to die.

Aurora ran a cold shower, hoping to shake such thoughts. She knew it was only because they were set to return to the Goldsworth tomorrow morning that she was thinking such things. She had found once they had moved into their home in Manchester that the past had slowly become less painful; she thought of Shaniqua less frequently, and she found her happiness with Clint blossoming.

Now they were going back and she wondered if she could handle it. She was emotional and tired all the time now, the hormones saw to that, and going back was sure to make her feel worse.
