Chapter 23

Lucy had her second hypnotherapy appointment that afternoon.

‘I’m really nervous,’ she confided to Gary, over lunch. ‘More nervous than last time. Because now I’m pretty certain there’s definitely something there. And I’m afraid of it.’

‘You’re amazing,’ said Gary. ‘Seriously, you’re being so brave.’

‘Not as brave as Reilly,’ said Lucy. ‘Seriously, my dad tore strips off her the other day. There was something else as well that he was angry about, but she won’t tell me what. She doesn’t want anything else about Grace’s case to compromise my therapy. Apparently the mind is really easy to influence. Like, if she tells me she’s looking into something, my mind might spontaneously create memories based on that.’

‘So no matter what you remember, it probably won’t be admissible?’

Lucy took a bite of her sandwich, chewed and swallowed and shook her head. ‘No. not in a court. But Reilly wants to see if I know anything that will lead somewhere.’

They were silent for a moment as they ate. Then Lucy said: ‘You know, I sort of hope that I don’t know anything. Because that means that I’ve been hiding it all this time, when maybe we could have found Grace. And if she suffered more because of me … then I just won’t be able to live with myself.’

‘It’s not your fault, Luce. Just keep talking about it. And know that I’m here, any time of day or night. You need someone to talk to too.’ He blushed. ‘I know I’m…a bit full on. But seriously, I come in friendship only. Anything else is your call.’

Lucy nodded. It was a strange declaration to make in the middle of the work cafe with sandwiches and potato salad sitting between them, but she felt its sincerity.

‘Thanks,’ she said. ‘That means something. Really.’
