Chapter 216: REALITY STRIKES: FLYNN

Lee drove up to the gates and after clicking the gate opener attached to the visor above his head, my heart sank as I watched as the metal gates open slowly. My heart thumped in my chest at the thought I was about to be face to face with Valerie again. Knowing that I had the answers to prove my innocence made me angrier than I'd already been - I'd been vindicated but not before my family's life had been shredded.

Liam squealed in delight when he saw the old family dog, Buster, come half-walking half-running toward the car. When I saw him, my mind flitted to a memory of Martin, and the story he'd told me about Buster being Valerie's dog. I asked Lee to stop the car so that we could get out. Liam headed straight for Buster, who fussed around him while he giggled heartily, and stroked the dog's shaggy coat.
