... her with a visit. Or just pop in and observe her shopping on her own. Once, he arrived just in time to see her leaving a fashion clothing shop. Next door was a café with outdoor seating. Two women were seated at the table nearest to the boutique's entry. He saw recognition dawn on their faces when they saw Jane. He couldn't hear what they said but assumed it was a snide joke by the looks on their faces and their laughter. Peter turned his gaze to Jane and saw her glance at them, then put her head down and march off with the bags containing her new purchases banging against her legs, such was the force of her swinging arms. Hiding her devastation at being a woman without a friend behind layers of new clothes. Peter did go and spend one night with Jane. Being ten days after her marriage collapsed, he thought Fiona would be okay on her own for a short time. Jane needed some serious consoling. Her youngest child, thirteen-year-old Chloe, had come home from school, where she'd been asked if she was as big a slut as her mother.

He knew she was a wonderful person and that he loved her, but the term 'emotionally high maintenance' was starting to creep into his head more and more. CHAPTER 8 Two days later, at noon on a school day, Peter dropped into Jane's house to surprise her. When she wasn't there, he rang her cell. She told him she was across the road, walking in the park, and to wait at the house. When she arrived, it wasn't missed by Peter that she was neither out of breath nor particularly dressed for exercise. Conversation was stilted. Peter preoccupied with why she was being deceptive. Jane preoccupied with what she'd seen in the park and what it was doing to her conscience. She'd gone to the park that morning to try and find Dave. She intended to ascertain his level of forgiveness of her. She'd reached the point where she was quite willing to beg him to take her back.
