Desperation
Mrs. Wood told Darren that she’d “be in touch” and showed herself out while Darren tried to comfort Natalie. “I told her what I told you, dad,” she sobbed. “Every morning I wake up with marks and I don’t know how they got there!”

Something just wasn’t adding up here. He vowed that he’d find out what it was. But did he really want to know the answer?
