"Darling, don't say that. Don't even think it." I try to reach my arm around her back, but she pulls away.
She squeezes the bag to her chest. "It's true," she says. "I haven't been the perfect wife. I've done things I regret, I know that now. Stupid things. But I never thought it'd come to this." She grabs me by the arm. There's a mad kind of look that could lead to anything. "I blame myself, at least for part of it. I have to go after him. I'm not going to rot away, the way Mum did. I need him to see me. This is my last chance."
So of course I find her keys, and her phone, and I think about what to tell the girls while she books her flight to Noosa."/>
