As he was led through to the kitchen, Gorman listened to the sound of Carey and the children upstairs, their steps
causing the boards to creak. Michael had instinctively made his way to the kettle, which he was now filling with water from
the tap, although it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was worried. Gorman rarely showed up at the Hillard house,
partly out of respect and partly because of the guilt that burned in his gut, and everyone in town knew that he wasn't the kind
of man who made unnecessary house-calls. A visit from Sheriff Ben Gorman always meant that something was wrong.
“You'll have to forgive her,” Michael said eventually. “The last time you showed up late at night, it was...” His
voice trailed off as he set the kettle on to boil. “Well, it was five years ago and... The world changed.”
