Rufus was standing by her bed, wagging his tail, his brown marble-like eyes beseeching. ‘I suppose you would like a walk, right?’ she asked, hauling herself upright and shoving the bird’s nest of her hair away from her face. Rufus barked and wagged his tail so hard he knocked off the newly framed photo of the twins she had put on the bedside table. ‘Come on, then,’ she said, putting her shoes on, wincing as her leg protested after being still for so long. As she walked along the beach with Rufus, she found herself going the extra distance to the rock pools, rationalising that it was purely for Rufus’s sake as he had been locked up in the house for most of the day. Of course, it wasn’t exactly for Rufus’s sake that she covertly peered up the cliff to make out Jacob’s home. The house was certainly well hidden by the bush surrounding it, but she could just make out the bank of windows that overlooked the bay. She shielded her eyes with one hand and angled her gaze to see if she could see anyone moving about.
