‘Not until early morning.’
Oh thank god.
He winked at her. ‘Maybe I’ll slip you a length. It’s been a while.’
Hayley tried not to shudder. She couldn’t imagine anything worse. ‘I’m on my period.’
‘Again?’
She shrugged. ‘Must be the hormones. Like you said, we’re getting old.’ She heard him mutter, ‘Yuk,’ under his breath as he stepped out of the kitchen.
When he left the house she felt like she’d been holding her breath for hours. Trying to keep a lid on her emotions, she explored the living room. It looked cosy enough, with a caramel-coloured sofa and matching armchair and a small pine dining table set by the window. There was a picture of her parents, and one of her and Chris on the mantel piece. Two large framed black and white posters, one of the Eiffel Tower and another of the Empire State Building, decorated the walls. Trembling, she sank down on the sofa, buried her head in a cushion and finally let the tears go.
Sobbing, Hayley pulled out the mobile phone and punched in Rick’s number, but once again the automated voice repeated it was out of service.
He’s real. I know he is. But I don’t even have a picture of him, or of the kids.
She let the phone slip out of her fingers and its thud on the floor startled her.
Don’t sit here and wallow. You’re wasting time. Find a solution. Find a way home.
She needed to search the house for clues and then leave. How could she stay knowing that Chris would be coming home with triple X-rated intentions?
