She realized that she had left Decker's driving licence at the hospital. She had meant to bring it away with her. It had felt like evidence but she couldn't think of what exactly.

Of course she had forgotten the licence, she had forgotten everything. She had forgotten herself for a moment.

She had flashed her warrant card and got on to the wards. Access all areas. They would have to tear that warrant card out of her hands when she left the police force. Then she had walked through wards full of train crash survivors until she found him.

He wasn't dead, although he looked all broken up. An Australian doctor she spoke to said it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Louise stroked the back of his hand, there was a black bruise where the IV went in. The doctor said he had been 'out for the count' (a medical term, apparently) but was OK now.

She stayed and watched over him for a while.

When she stood up to leave she had bent down and kissed him on the cheek and he opened his eyes as if he'd been waiting for her. 'Hello, stranger,' she said and he said, 'I love you,' and she felt completely disorientated, as if she had been burled around in an eightsome reel and then let go and flung across the dance floor. She was trying to compose the right response to this declaration of his feelings when the Irish nurse swooped back in and said, 'He won't stop asking for his wife, you wouldn't have any idea how to get hold of her would you, Chief Inspector?' and the spell was broken.

When Reggie had showed her the postcard of Bruges and said, 'I don't know whether he's alive or dead,' her heart had done the kind offlip-flap offear with which it would have greeted bad news about Archie. And right in that micro-second of the mis-beat, the thought had come to her that she wouldn't have reacted that way if it had been Patrick. She had made a terrible mistake, hadn't she? She had married the wrong man. No, no, she had married the right man, it was just that she was the wrong woman.

'We've only just identified him,' the nurse said. 'We thought he was called Andrew Decker.'
