She felt like a whimpering puppy, unable to stop herself. So unlike the strong woman she was used to being.Karen.The name had circled in her mind ever since Daniel had told her. His words falling, crashing through her head. Tumbling over and over like they were never going to stop.She’d wanted to know and yet she hadn’t. But she’d needed to know. The woman within her wanted to know why she’d failed so miserably, what this other woman had had that she didn’t. Whether she should blame herself for what had happened, even if it was only in part.The mother within her wanted to shield herself and those she loved from pain. To push the memories away and try to move forward.The wife within her was shattered.But she knew now and she had to deal with it.Penny pulled up outside their house and sat outside for a few minutes. The lights were on, curtains pulled so she couldn’t see in. But she knew the scene she’d find inside.Daniel’s mother would be curled up on the sofa reading a book or watching television, and Gabby would be tucked up in bed, peaceful in sleep.If she didn’t hurry up and get inside, Daniel might even beat her home.
