St Piran's: The Fireman And Nurse Loveday (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
For once, his car stereo was silent, and the grim set of his jaw told Flora that he wasn’t in the mood for conversation, either. He parked outside one of the cottages near the cliffs, and she noticed his hand was shaking as he opened the front door.

It feels so wrong.’ ‘I know.’ She took his hand and held it, willing him to take strength from her nearness. ‘Clearing out their house makes everything seem so final.’ He swallowed hard. ‘I suppose I was leaving it in the hope that it was all a bad dream and they’d come back—but they’re not coming back, are they?’ ‘No, Tom, they’re not,’ she said, as gently as she could. ‘It’s such a waste. Such a bloody waste. There are people out there who hurt others, who lie and cheat and make people miserable, and they seem to swan through life without any worries. And people like my sister and her husband, people who were kind and always helped others…’ He shook his head in anguish.
