Chapter 146 Amazingly

• Amazingly, Hannah did enjoy the mud crab. Her stomach had stopped churning once Tony had teased her into laughing. The dreadful tightness in her chest had eased, too, and she found herself wanting to please him, to share his pleasure in the gourmet dish he’d ordered for both of them.
• Somehow his sympathetic interest and calmly considered comments had drained away the angst of telling him about Jodie and Flynn. Or talking the whole miserable story through had unloaded the burden of all the bad feelings their presence here had stirred up again.
• Tony was probably right in his judgement that keeping those memories bottled up gave them a power they shouldn’t have any more. In any event, she was glad now she had shared them with him. And it was very heart-warming that he wanted to help her, though how he intended to get rid of Flynn and Jodie was a tantalising question.
