Quote preview background for Tracey-anne McCartney
The return journey was nothing like the arrival. Bea couldn__ wait to get out of the car. She remembered feeling like this before, with Brandon, on several occasions. It was an excruciating need to escape the confinement of being in too close a proximity to passive-aggressive behaviour. She hated conflict, after a row, it would take her hours, perhaps days to become fully relaxed and herself again. She became anxious, not entirely brought on by his coldness, but by old memories, and the way her body would instinctively react to them. It wasn__ a feeling that she wanted to experience with someone new, of whom she__ told his sister only a short time ago that she was falling in love with.
