But the dark night was tinged by orange. “Eric,” I whispered. “Something’s wrong.” The road to grandma’s house and the stables was a long one, but it suddenly seemed infinite. And the orange on the horizon seemed far away.
“You’ve been to Lough Glass.’ There was a pause. And then with a heavy menace he said: ‘And if you know what’s good for you I wouldn’t go again.’ Then he moved away. Louis had gone white. What did the fellow mean? He saw Stevie put his arm around Kit’s shoulder and she held his hand tightly. Kit McMahon, Lena’s daughter. And her boyfriend. But they didn’t know, for God’s sake.

“But there it was again. His face, handsome, petulant, impatient, the way he was when he didn’t get what he wanted. ‘Get out of here, Louis,’ she said aloud. ‘I’ve nothing to lose now,’ Louis said. ‘I’ll bring you down with me, you’ll be sorry you didn’t listen to me. I’ve nothing to lose.’ There was a huge truck. The lights of a truck and a terrible shattering of glass and … Then there was nothing.”
