CHAPTER ONE
HE WAS LATE. Almost a year late by his reckoning, although, by rights, he should have been here from the very beginning.
Callum OâNeillâs mouth thinned as he paid off the cab and turned to face the cottage that had once been his home. He had sworn when he had left that he would never come back here again. This place held too many bad memories and he had promised himself that he would do his best to forget what had gone on. However, that had been before he had received that letter. Before everything had changed.
Callum could feel his heart thumping as he walked up the path. He knocked on the door, wondering what sort of reception he would receive. He wasnât expecting red carpet treatment but he was hoping that things would improve once he explained what had happened. It had taken months for the letter to reach him. He had been moving around such a lot as he had helped to set up the programme he had been working on. It was vital to roll it out to as many communities as possible as Malaria was endemic over much of sub-Saharan Africa. It was little wonder the letter hadnât reached him for such a long time but would Beth understand that? He hoped so. He couldnât bear to think that they would end up arguing again. They had done enough of that in the past and he, for one, couldnât bear to go down that route again.
âIf youâre wanting Dr Andrews then she isnât there.â
Callum swung round. âOh, right. Do you know where she is, by any chance?â he asked, recognising the elderly woman who had spoken to him as a patient from the surgery. He had worked at The Larches Surgery for almost a year, filling in as a locum GP so he could be with Beth. Their relationship had already been under a lot of strain by then and it hadnât helped that they were living so far apartâhe based in London and Beth in the Yorkshire Dalesâso he had made the decision to relocate. Sadly, it hadnât helped their marriage as much as he had hoped it would. Things had gone too far by that stage and so instead they had split up, which made what had happened later all the more poignant...
