  The thing is, if I had given all of this a little more thought, if I’d had a little more time, I’m sure I might have come to this conclusion. When Eddie first told me I had a chance to move to Norway, memories of Laila drifted through my head. She’d left her position as nanny to the Fairfaxes because her beloved grandmother, who lived in a tiny village in northern Norway, had gotten sick, and she wanted to be with her. I know it was a tough decision for Laila to make, but since her grandmother raised her and they were especially close, she didn’t have much choice.

  At that point, Laila thought I was an outright wanker, so we weren’t really on speaking terms anyway. The most I would get out of her was a stiff nod of recognition as we passed each other in the halls. One day I found out that she was gone, and that was that. Never heard from her, or about her, again. Until now.

  “Must be a relief to see a familiar face,” Magnus says to me. “That’s why I put your room right next to hers.”

  Bloody hell.
