Prey to All
“Trish had thought it would be suitable music for the drive back to London, with the solo cellist having to provide both the melody and the accompaniment. Anna’s expectations and Deb’s need were weighing on her.
The half-dancing, half-austere throbbing sound put some welcome distance between her and her memories of the doctor. But it couldn’t stop her thinking of Deb going to the surgery in desperation and meeting hostility and rejection. Imagining Deb’s feelings on the drive back to her parents...’ house made Trish feel as though she might have let her liking for the woman make her dangerously credulous.
No music on earth could have stopped her mind working to rearrange the few facts she had, first one way and then another, trying to see how they could be made to fit the story she so much wanted to believe.
At first it had comforted her to find that Foscutt was quite as awful as Deb’s account had made him sound. But the more she thought about him the less happy she became. Deb had turned to him because there was no one else.MoreLess
