As soon as he'd said the words “I'm sorry...” I knew. I just
knew. Somebody else was in charge now, and that they wouldn't be too
bothered about us. I just knew I had to do something to buy us more
time, so that Robert could find Fiona and Raven. I knew that if we
could just get Raven back, then he'd be able to sort it all out.
My husband was asking about this council thing as I stood up and
quickly left the room. I went straight into the kitchen to find
something that might help. In all honesty I didn't know what I was
looking for, but I had to take some sort of action. I looked around
the place wildly, trying to take it all in when my eyes found the
rolling pin.
