Vanda Dawson was tired. Not physically so. Not as she had been for the last few days. She was tired of feeling afraid. Tired of being submissive. Tired of fearing to upset other people’s feelings, which, when she thought about it, summed up the whole of her miserable life. A life of total non-achievement. Trapped in a loveless marriage to a husband who regarded her as nothing more than a cook and housekeeper. Except that he had other uses for her. Uses, such as someone to vent his cold anger and meanness on, someone to boss about and belittle because she was nothing. Less than nothing, someone who didn’t do anything for fear she’d get it wrong.

The realization of all this came suddenly. Along with it came the knowledge that whatever the outcome she could never go back. She knew it, and on the first possible occasion, she’d tell him it. The marriage was over. That would be the message. He could find someone else to cook and clean, to wash and iron. Tasks she’d have undertaken cheerfully if he’d only repaid her with a little kindness, tenderness or physical love.

That thought came as a second shock. That all those years of repressed emotion added up to the frustrations of a highly sexed woman going without the joys of physical intimacy. Brian hadn’t touched her that way for years. Hadn’t shown the slightest wish − not even an admiring glance at her body. She needed it. From almost out of nowhere she felt this surge, this appetite for a man to make love to her. Like a bitch in season, this unquenchable flame of desire came over her.

All these things were immaterial. She’d never have chance to express her feelings, whether to Brian or any man she met. Because next time her kidnapper came through that door, it might all be over.

She was lying, tethered to the bed and she was hungry. The winter sunlight was filtering round the edge of the heavy curtain and she guessed it must be near lunchtime. She frowned; there was something odd about her abductor’s routine. He always woke her for breakfast, then he never reappeared until the next meal. Although she couldn’t be sure, she thought he might leave the house after he’d fed her. She’d thought on more than one occasion that she’d heard a door close, after which there was a long period of silence. Silence that lasted for hours, until she was convinced she’d heard a car engine, then the sound of doors again. Why was that? Where did he go every day? Was he going to work? Trying to maintain some form of routine: showing respectability to the outside world? If so, where was he now?

Almost as if she’d given voice to her thoughts, he entered the room. For a second the old Vanda tried to return, and she felt herself quail internally. Then her anger and frustration took over. ‘What are you going to do?’ she demanded.

He stopped, head on one side.
