It might be situated at the bottom of a large garden, but it's private enough that we don't have to mingle with the homeowners who live nearby. Or at least that's what I thought . . .

Now it's just me and my husband again, the two of us and all our problems, and we're forced to work together as a team to get our beloved daughter back.

I used to enjoy my job. I was good at it and felt fulfilled. I also used to enjoy spending time with the people I worked with.

Unfortunately, it was too late by then, and as my personal and professional lives quickly blurred into one, that was when everything changed.

A good nurse. But looks can be deceiving. You shouldn’t trust me–because I don’t even know if I can trust myself.
