The Secret Place
Corinne turned it into a logistics problem and solved it inside a month.
She chose the days I traveled.
She called the school.
She invented the stomach thing as a reason.
And she is the one who worked out, entirely on her own initiative, that a seven-year-old can identify a route out of a car window, and instructed her to lie down.
And she is the one who said the sentence.
I want to be precise about the sentence, because it is the whole of my case against her and I have gone through it perhaps four hundred times.
She did not threaten my daughter.
