---- Chapter 8 I simply shook my head and left. However, Sean kept coming over the next few days, showing up punctually even though I refused him entry. Even when Janet called saying that she missed him, he simply said no. As the days passed and the visits continued, Janet finally broke. The woman who ruined my life as soon as she returned to the country finally showed her face, her makeup bewitching and her clothing skimpy. As soon as Sean saw her, he promptly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, "It's autumn- don't you know you should be wearing layers?"
