Christmas At Lilac Cottage: (#1 White Cliff Bay) - Plot & Excerpts
It had taken him nearly half an hour to get home. He should have called the fire brigade or the police or someone, anyone would have got there quicker than he could have done, but he knew the satnav didn’t actually take anyone directly to the house and, remembering what a pain in the arse it had been for him to find the place on his first day, he didn’t want to waste time explaining where the property was. He had phoned Daisy to get her to cycle home, but neither she nor Anna had answered the phone and Anna didn’t have a car as Steve had taken theirs to come and meet him. He raced around the back of the house and barged through the back door and into the cool room. He yanked at the freezer door. It was stuck but he pulled at it hard and it eventually opened. Penny was sitting in the corner of the room, huddled up into a ball. She wasn’t moving. The bottom dropped out of his world. He ran to her side and shook her but there was no response.
