What Goes Around: A Chilling Psychological Thriller - Plot & Excerpts
Ellen Thursday, and Francis calls me at nine in the morning. ‘Ellen! How are you? You feeling better?’ ‘Much better, thank you.’ ‘I was thinking about you last night. You’re going to feel such a sense of relief when you’ve given the jewellery back to Leila.’ I know what’s coming next. ‘Why don’t you let me help you get it done?’ He’s nothing if not persistent. ‘I’ve given it back,’ I lie. ‘You have?’ He recovers well. ‘That’s great! Shall I pop in to see you after I’ve visited my mum?’ Are you really visiting your mum? Or is she a figment of your imagination? A convenient excuse to be in my neighbourhood? This is what I don’t say. Instead I tell him that I’m taking my dad to Aberdeen to visit my uncle who is unwell. This is another lie, and I know I need to be less of a coward, but I feel like if I have a few days to think, to put the whole experience into some sort of context, then I’ll be able to tell him to piss off and never darken my door again.
