“Aside from the throbbing pain of my big toe, the ludicrously early hour of the morning, and the fact I was now stranded in the very last place on earth I wanted to be, I knew I would get over it. My fury had already started to dissipate.
Until I saw him.
Lurking in the shadows like a snake. I mean, did he honestly think I wouldn’t be able to see him? The giant human-shaped shadow peering from the verandah?

When it came to lessons on sneaking around Moira Station I was fully qualified on ...the matter; I had enough connections in order to sneakily weave my way into town undetected every chance I had, so utterly desperate to escape, just like I wanted to now.
I didn’t care how much noise I was making, I knew my parents would never hear me, their bedroom was right at the back of the house in their little parents’ wing. Moira might have heard something if she wasn’t snoring her head off and listening to music through her headphones.
All probably just as well. I had had enough of my parents’ preaching and I had only been home for eight hours.MoreLess
