The Perfect Husband
“It was way past late. At eleven, her shift had finally ended. In a daze, she’d headed for home and in half an hour, she’d be there. Home. With Nigel. With her kids. Her lips trembled at what could lie ahead for her, but she refused to give in to her fear.
After the meeting with Senior Constable Rogers, when Mason had pulled up into the hospital car park with only minutes to spare, her stomach had been tight with nerves and a headache pierced her eyes. She’d swallowed some Tylenol, but it had ba...rely taken the edge off. The last thing she wanted now was to drive home to Nigel, but she didn’t have a choice.
Somehow, she had to carry on as normal, as if nothing momentous had occurred—or was about to. She’d never been good at lying and especially not to her husband.
