in a band? That’s cool.’
‘Not cool, Nick. Not cool at all. Her father is in the music business.’
Nick frowns. ‘Lorna, what’s the story with this guy? Don’t you think it’s time you told me?’
‘Nick, please just move. Please.’ My eyes flick to the road. ‘I’ll tell you his name, how about that?’
‘Who cares what his name is?’
‘He’s famous. Okay? Crazy famous. Like, Grammy award-winning millionaire famous. If I tell you who he is, will you move out of my way?’
Nick grips the steering wheel. ‘If that’s the best I’m going to get right now.’
‘Liberty’s father is Michael Reyji Ray.’
‘Whoa.’ Nick stares. ‘You’re kidding me. Michael Reyji Ray?’
‘She’s gone to his house and I’m going after her.’
‘You know where Michael Reyji Ray lives?’
‘Yes.’
‘Where?’
I hesitate. ‘Not far from here. Huntingdon Woods. He owns them.’
‘Huntingdon Woods? But … that’s … like a half-hour drive.’
I nod, eyes looking past him.
‘Why, Lorna?’
‘Why what?’
‘You could have lived anywhere. You’re a US citizen. You could have lived in the States. But you chose to live less than thirty miles from the guy, for Christ’s sake. Why?’
‘It’s hard to explain.’
Nick’s eyes harden. ‘Try.’
‘Nick. Right now, I just need to get Liberty out of there. Will you stay here? Someone needs to stay here. In case she comes back.’
Nick’s shoulder’s sag in resignation. ‘I’ll stay. But I’m struggling to get it, seriously. Really struggling. We live so close to the guy … why not live the other side of London at least?’
‘This is her father’s world,’ I say. ‘Don’t expect anything to make sense from now on.’
