Almost a week had passed since that fateful day. Mikey had checked into a local hotel – well, it was more of a golf and spa resort.
Lauren had told her mum exactly what had happened and Anne had wasted no time in kicking David out. She even claimed to have suspected something was going on with Sarah and David. Anne dumped all his possessions on the lawn and had her giant of a brother come round to stay so David didn’t get any ideas about trying to sneak in and talk to her.
Lauren had to go back to university. She had sent Mikey a few messages, but they agreed they needed to lay low while the dust settled on the weekend’s events.
On Monday morning, Mikey snuck back to his house and packed a full suitcase while Sarah was at work. He even loaded his and Lauren’s bikes into his car before returning to the hotel. He called Felicity to find out when she was babysitting and arranged to sneak round and see his daughter while his wife was out.
