Hello From the Gillespies
“Angela was on her way to Adelaide to collect Genevieve and Victoria from the airport.
It was the quietest few hours she’d had in months. In the first half of her four-hour journey, she’d passed less than a dozen cars, one semitrailer and an elderly couple towing a caravan. She’d waved and all of them – all strangers – had waved back. The country salute. She remembered noticing it for the first time while driving with Nick along this road three decades ago. She’d thought he knew everyone.
... Celia had arrived the previous day. Nick had collected her from the bus in Hawker. She had been all charm and girlish giggles with him, all icy politeness with Angela. She was as perfectly groomed as always, her petite frame in an elegant, well-tailored dress. As Angela carried in her bag, helped her settle into the guestroom, she waited for a sign that Celia had read her Christmas email. There had been nothing, until she heard Lindy ask her about the bus journey.MoreLess
