He followed her home . .

. and she let him inTanith Fellows is battling to cope with the death of her younger brother and, as a result, she's been taking more sleeping tablets than she probably should in order to ensure escape when she goes to bed.

Waking up one morning, she realises that she's wearing different pyjamas to those she went to sleep in and has vague recollections of a car accident. When she gets up, she sees her treasured jade necklace smashed on the floor and realises that she's been assaulted, that someone's been in the house with her.

Everything is a blank though. She can't remember a thing after she switched off the light.

Strange things start to happen in her house after that. Photographs seem to be moving, clothing items seem to be rearranging themselves in drawers, her fridge is stocked with groceries she can't remember paying for and the wayward pyjamas from the night of her attack make a surprise reappearance.

Beyond exhausted, Tanith tries to ignore her increasing fear, putting all of this down to an over-stressed, often fuzzy, mind, something she's had a problem with since her MS diagnoses anyway. She eventually realises, too late, that some of the things that have been happening around the house were signs from her brother and that she'd missed the message he was trying to send her.
