There is no rush, and yet he is beginning to think they should hurry through this day. Everywhere he turns he feels threatened, as though a disaster he can’t discern is closing in on them. ‘Get Maddie away from here,’ Liam had whispered to Callum before he headed back into Sophia’s room. ‘I’ll phone you later.’ ‘What are you thinking?’ ‘That we need to find out who that woman is as fast as possible, and take a look at her car.’ Callum is trying to fill in the gaps left by the grainy photograph, racking his brains for anywhere he might have seen the woman before. It isn’t Danielle – how could it be, and why would it be? – and yet his unease at this strange development has brought her words back to mind. This isn’t over yet. He cannot go on like this, he needs to clear the air. As they walk, he whips out his phone and texts her. Can we talk? Please? At the car, he opens the passenger door for Maddie, then goes around to his side. Maddie starts to speak as soon as he climbs in.
