Adele Parks - I Invited Her In - The new domestic psychological thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks

‘You are not suggesting doing it on the kitchen table, are you?’

‘I thought that was why you cleared the clutter.’

‘Are you mad?’ I ask, laughing.

‘About you,’ he replies, cheesily.

We compromise and do it on the sofa in the sitting room.

Abigail

Tuesday 20th February

Neither airports nor aeroplanes particularly excited Abigail; she’d become accustomed. She didn’t bother looking at the tax-free luxury products that were available because she could afford to buy them at full price, if she pleased. She didn’t grab the in-flight entertainment brochure and get excited by the movies that were showing because often she’d been to early screenings, even premieres. She wasn’t interested in the glass of champagne that was complimentary in business class, because alcohol was dehydrating and it was important not to look drained after a flight. Today she visited duty-free, bought the first perfume and lipstick that came to hand, put it on his credit card; she’d have bought more but they were calling her flight. And while she did still ignore the in-flight entertainment, she put herself in danger of becoming it, as she helped herself to four glasses of champagne and knocked them back swiftly, ignoring the slightly concerned looks on the flight-attendants’ faces.

Abigail felt cheated.

He’d stolen from her. Her dignity, her youth, her opportunities, her time.

Him, and that woman. She wasn’t going to take it lying down. She was going to even up the score. She was owed. And she was going to collect.
