66. How Deep is Your Love?

As she closed her eyes to sleep Eve found herself back in Zimbabwe. She felt herself panic. She was so sure that it had been a dream. She could swear that if she woke up now Reg would be on her couch doing his assignments with an eye on her bedroom door.

But she looked around and found that she was in her bed in her sanctuary. The house Troy had refused to look at, once he'd seen the one they used to share.

She heard a sound in the yard. The boys were at their father's house. She picked up her phone and dialled Reg's number.

"Hey, Gorgeous. What can I do for you? Are you craving apple pie with jelly?"

She cringed. She had nearly threatened Reg that if he didn't find her apple pie with raspberry jelly she would not consider helping his failing company. He had found both and delivered them to the office within the hour.

"Um...no. I think there is someone in my yard. I just heard a funny noise."

"Sweetheart, call your security company and the police now. I'm on my way."
