“Happy hen do, Sarah!” called Maria, as we huddled to hug our diminutive friend.

“It’s finally here!” Her grip was iron-tight with excitement. With Sarah, it’s like someone took a very large person and condensed them down to make one that packed more of a punch. She was a neutron star of a woman.

Sarah introduced us to Beth, who had the kind of highlighted blond waves that sold hair products. The two of them were dressed in identical pink velour tracksuits.

“For the journey,” Sarah said, in response to our looks. She waved at Jeremy, who rolled the window down. “Let’s get this show on the road! I can’t wait to find out where we’re going.”

“Yes, wherever could that be,” Jeremy intoned.

My stomach swooped unpleasantly. I’d decided to tell my friends the truth after we’d dropped Sarah and Beth off for my version of the treasure hunt, and I was already sweating at the thought. Beth had never seen the original itinerary, but it seemed unlikely that Sarah hadn’t told her about Shrewksbury being a possibility—after all, why would her best friends let her down?

I’d worry about Beth’s reaction later.

Beep-beep.

“Don’t keep Big Bertha waiting!” Jeremy called through the car window, patting his steering wheel lovingly. “Seat belts on?” he asked, once we were all in. “Then next stop: my own personal hell.”

“Is he serious?” Beth asked from the back.

“You get used to him,” said Sarah.

“I’ll sort directions.” I grabbed the GPS from the dash. Jeremy glanced at me—I was normally the last person to volunteer to navigate. The trouble was, I was the only one of us who knew where we were going.
