Because one sentence from a mother-in-law is something a person can be owed for.
The reason.
His sister Row.
In 2021, before the girls, Corey did something much smaller than this with somebody at Kettleby and it got out, and there was about a fortnight of it, and I was told a version in which it was not what it looked like.
And Dinah said something to me at that kitchen table that I have carried for four years.
She said: “He’s a good lad, Pia. Don’t let people fill your head.”
***Don’t let people fill your head.***
And in the April of 2025, when Shauna rang me, the first thing I thought — and I know this because I remember thinking it, and it frightens me now — was not about my marriage.
It was: this time she’s going to see it.
That came before anything else. Before the girls. Before Corey. Before any of it.
