His and Hers

Sometimes I think Anna knows that I killed those women as well as her father. I can think of no other reason why she picked up the knife Catherine dropped in the woods and hid it in her handbag. I think she must have recognised it. I borrowed it from Jack’s house after all, from a set I gave them as a wedding gift.

‘What are you making?’

but I could not see. It took a long time for her to put the noose around her neck, but it wasn’t until afterwards I discovered she had changed the knot. Something her father taught her how to do when they went sailing, apparently.

but most mothers will do anything for their daughters. I did.
