They were there for most of the morning. They returned to the house and took Poppy for a walk. In the afternoon Joshua slept on the sofa, his feet hanging off the end. Rose put the single duvet from her bed over him and then went into the kitchen and called Anna to tell her what had happened. Her grandmother was shocked and asked if Rose wanted her to come up to Newcastle. Rose gently declined the offer. Her grandmother sounded bewildered at the news and after ending the call Rose wondered what she must have thought about her granddaughter. After coming home from boarding school six months before there seemed to have been a string of violent deaths associated with her. Anna was unsettled by these events; her safe world, her music, her friends, her charity work, her house in Belsize Park, was not so solid now. Rose seemed to attract death. It left her feeling responsible in some way, as if her very presence made something bad happen. Now there were deaths that came from the past. The Butterfly Murder.
