Marcia tapped Jamie on the shoulder.

‘You might want to see these.’ She handed him an envelope.

Jamie opened the envelope. ‘When were you going to tell me?’

‘What is it? Tell me.’ Layla made a grab for the envelope.

‘It seems Marcia and Gray are already divorced and as they signed a prenup he got nothing,’ Jamie hid his glee behind the papers. ‘Looks like you’ve had a wasted journey Layla dear.’

Layla pulled her phone from her pocket and frantically dialled.

‘Oh, didn’t I say? I dropped him off at the airport this morning. He’s gone to Rio, don’t think he’s coming back, changed his number, wanted a fresh start.’

Jamie stood between them.

‘And what’s with the keys?’

‘I bought us a cabin by Lake Abigail, where we first um…’

‘Why is this the first I am hearing about all this?’

‘Oh darling, thought it might be romantic, running away and all that. We all need a little excitement don’t you think?’
