She sits in her car and counts to ten in an attempt to calm down.

Her fingers tap on the wheel as the realisation of what she’s just done sink in.

She’s left him. He hasn’t been a good husband to her for awhile now, but he adores their daughter as much as she does and it’s Lindsey that’s kept her there for so long.

Now the little girl lays asleep in the backseat and all Catherine can think about is finding somewhere to sleep where they’ll be safe…. All so has to do is stay calm and keep counting.
