I watch as they walk to Louise’s convertible and DS Percy to her own car. Louise will have to drive past me to get out, but DS Percy will reverse and go the other way to the station. If she doesn’t, then I’ll just have to think of something else.

But she does. Louise whizzes past and I follow some distance behind. She turns onto the bypass and I’m behind her. I keep close until she indicates right, then follow and drop back. She lives in Austerlands. She twists and turns off the Huddersfield Road and I turn my lights off. Eventually she turns into a cul-de-sac. I watch as she goes into a dormer bungalow and locks her car doors remotely.

As she does, she’s greeted by strong arms. I can’t see from here properly, but those arms enfold her and she throws her arms around his neck. It’s obviously Jack. He hugs her and pulls her inside. I can only see the shadows behind the thin curtains, but she’s explaining something. He holds her again and I wonder what she’s going to say when she finds out that he’s included her in his perfect ten, pictures and all?

I wait and wait, just to see if DS Percy turns up. She might send a car to watch the house. To make sure that Louise is safe. From me, though? It doesn’t seem fair. All I want is the truth. All I want is for someone to finally say to me that all those things that Jack said about me aren’t true. That they believe me. And for him to admit that he was a complete bastard. That he was a serial adulterer and that all the lies he told were to protect himself. He’s in there and I want to ask him face to face. Then it’s over.

It does concern me that DS Percy appears to be protecting Louise Shaw. I thought that she would understand when she saw the journal. That she’d know what I’ve been through. That I’m not the dangerous one. It’s him who has been going around hurting people. Arranging people’s lives through deceit to suit himself. Lorraine has bought into his lies and she’s on his side now.

She clearly doesn’t realise that he’s led Louise along the garden path too. How could she? I go through it all again in my head, the photographs and the journal, DS Percy’s suspicion weighed by her ‘just doing my job here’ stance. I’m risking everything now, confronting him. It’s not fair, though. It’s not fair that he gets to be happy with Louise Shaw, Missy gets the kids and I get nothing. So, now I’m strong enough, I’m going to try every avenue until I hit on the truth.
