Chapter 9

• It’s late in the afternoon and Joshua is swimming in the pool with Didge while I am sitting between Nicholas and Margaret. Everyone else is gathered around the barbeque at the back of the pool area, watching the chef cook an amazing seafood meal, they are laughing and joking. This is a happy time and we are all so grateful that things turned out the way that they did. Just a week ago I was presumed dead and Joshua was in prison for my murder.
• “Do you want another drink?” Margaret asks both Nick and I.
• “Yes, please,” we both reply, and she stands, disappearing to the bar.
