She was there, in the office, every day of every week, with her low-plunging necklines and well-shaped calves, and she looked good. She glowed. As if her body had suddenly decided to thrive after Maddie’s last break-up with her three weeks ago. For Maddie, on the other hand, those weeks had been the loneliest in a long time. So lonely, in fact, she’d begun doing research on going back home. Back to Melbourne, where her sister lived with her two boys. Her parents. And Emma. Maddie let the memory of Emma swamp her. Five years ago she’d been convinced of making the right choice: her career over love. Emma didn’t want to relocate to Singapore with her. Fine. She’d go alone. Piece of cake. Yeah right. Expat regret, Maddie called it, when she browsed the internet for job opportunities in Melbourne. For the first time ever, after a year in Singapore, two in Shanghai and two in Hong Kong, she realised she had sacrificed too much. It’s not as if happiness was that easy to come by for anyone, and Maddie had made it especially hard on herself.
