“It’s complicated,” Marc says evasively. “The doctors say her sodium levels are off the chart, but they don’t know why. Her kidneys are functioning fine, but she’s got way too much salt in her body. Basically, she’s really dehydrated.”
“I don’t get it. Poppy drinks loads, she’s always thirsty—”
“That’s one of the signs, apparently.”
I slide Rowan into his high chair and put on his bib. “I still don’t understand. Signs of what?”
“They’re still trying ...to figure that out.”

“Not really.”
“Well, what then?” I say impatiently. “Everything Clare buys is fresh and organic, no additives, nothing, she’s totally anal about it—sorry, Marc, but she is. There’s no way Poppy could get salt poisoning from her food—”
“They don’t think she did.”
The penny drops.
“You mean … they think someone gave salt to her on purpose?”
“The concentration in her body was the same as you’d find in seawater,”MoreLess
