When we move into the exclusive Westford Park housing estate, we feel safe at last.

It’s like our secrets haven’t followed us here. Or that’s what we think at first…

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.

I also allowed myself to get a little too close to my boss, but I soon realized that was a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late by then, and as my personal and professional lives quickly blurred into one, that was when everything changed.

It’s just a coincidence, surely?
