Book Excerpt for the Day


    “That first time – when I met you at the station.  You kept touching that chain round your neck.  Made me wonder.  The average teenager’s careless.  My girls for example.  Always losing things – mobiles – I-pods – keys.  Careless.  But not you.  You wear your front door key round your neck.  Because you can’t afford to lose it – there’d be no one to let you in.  I watched you coming out the station.  Most people stop at the vending machine – grab a coke or a snack.  Not you.  Counting the pennies.”
