They had brought her to the children’s home where they had taken the baby and put her in a small sitting room that Mrs. Spears had called “the quiet room,” whatever that meant.

Kayleigh had had a fleeting moment of recognition when she had walked into the home; she had never been here, of course, but her very earliest memories were of somewhere just like this.

Social Services had got some sort of child psychologist in to speak to her, but Kayleigh didn’t care who asked her questions or what they asked her; she wasn’t going to say anything. They’d got it all wrong, but they’d have to sort it out for themselves, because anything she said might get Phil into trouble.

She thought about what she had told them. Just that they were moving into the cottage. She was sure she hadn’t said anything else. She didn’t understand what was happening, and she didn’t know what to do; she had never felt so alone, so frightened, so confused.

The doctor sat back, and she saw him glance at Mrs. Spears before he spoke.

“You told Chief Inspector Lloyd that you were going abroad.”

So she had. She’d forgotten that. But that wouldn’t help them much. She hadn’t even said where.

“Do you want to talk about that? Were you looking forward to it?”

Sooner or later, he’d get it into his head that she didn’t want to talk about anything. Period.
