Book Beginnings:

           

Marc Sat on the bottom stair and tried not to think the worst. The voice continued: “The vast majority of people return safe and well within the first forty -eight hours, Mr. Southwood. There’s no need to panic.” There was a pause. Marc knew he should take comfort from this. Sit tight and wait for his wife to return with a perfectly reasonable explanation.

 

Page 56:

 

“That day Marc had insisted he needed to go out to the library. My pleas had failed me and he’d left me with a full coffeepot and instructions to apply for the admin post at the uni that had just been advertised. I knew I should, but my brain was already thinking of other ways to spend the day.”

 

See you all next week! Have a great weekend:)
