The deep breaths in the car had not done much to quell her anger but as the darkness and silence of the countryside envelope d her she began to relax a little.

Instead of going straight to the house s he wandered through the garden, with only the moonlight to guide her, check ing on the animals and topping up their water bowls. By the time she let herself inside she was feeling much better , but even after a glass of wine, she still could not get William Darling out of her head completely. With her cat Muppet curled up on her lap, and her Labrador Sunny at her feet, she spent the next hour chatting with friends online and updating her profile on various sites.
