Counting down to the launch of Ursula Moller’s List of Regrets on Saturday. Not long now until the big day. Here’s another peek into chapter 1:
The rain was still falling when she pulled into her driveway. She got out of the car and her eyes were immediately drawn upwards to Anton’s office window and the shadowy figure that dominated it. It was too dark to see his expression but she knew it would be disapproving at best.
A rustling in the hedge behind made her jump. It was just a neighbour walking the dog, but she still shot inside and locked the door. Ursula wasn’t usually like this. The call had set her on edge. She was worried about Andi but, of course, it was more than that.
She went straight upstairs to get ready for bed and stopped at Anton’s office, its door closed as usual. Her fingers brushed against the handle but she didn’t open it. ‘Pablo’s left Andi again.’ Nothing. He never replied, never made a sound, but she knew he’d be watching her from the window in the morning when she left the house.
