Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She relishes in the way authors can create worlds with the words they put in their books. She loves the way your imagination introduces you to a new world when you read a book. It may well be a world completely foreign to the one you live in. That world is brought to life; inspiring you to dream, captivating your imagination and enticing your senses.
Hanleigh first took to reading as a small child reading Dr Zeus. She then fell in love with romance literature when she first read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; when she first swooned over Mr Darcy. She's read more books than she can count and owns more books than some libraries.

Hanleigh's London

"I've done it," I say as we walk out of the police station.


"You did." Jarrod smiles at me, pride shining in his eyes.


"Stop thanking me." He tuts. "This isn't on me. This is all you. You achieved this, not me."


"You helped," I tell him. "I'd never have done it without you."


I'm not really sure what the right answer is. I'm also not sure I know what I want. I know my friends will want me to come home, but I don't know if I can face their questions.


"Can I come back to yours?" His responding smile puts me at ease. He still wants me. As much as I'd believed his promise, seeing the evidence written on his face is exactly what I need.


"Come on then," he offers me his hand before leading me to his car.


I love Jarrod Thorpe - I've loved him for a while now - but today... today I love him more than before. He's the only one who could have gotten me through those doors and into that police station.
