Just after dinner that night, Eve took Gus for his evening walk, out along the Old Toll Road with its sweeping views of the River Sax and the mudflats. She was on her way home again when two police patrol cars passed her, skirting round the village green and down Dark Lane.

Eve let her in wordlessly and her new friend sank down onto one of the couches.
