And they confess they still love each other.

Carrie has returned to being a surgeon under her old mentor on a year placement in Sweden. The kids are liking it and they’re all learning Swedish. Carrie has not seen Johan since it all went down, he’s giving her space to get her life and head together and also he ended up being left by his wife. Robin still sees the kids but carries has realised she never knew the guy. Carrie meets Johan after all this time

The book forwards at the end to Carrie living in Sweden. With her kids. Her sister Maya has moved over as au pair after her life in the USA went to shit. Turns out Robin was also playing games with her relationship with her mom hiding card and presents and booking holidays when her mom wanted to come down and making it seem like she had no interest. They have a better relationship now.

In fact he told Carrie his boss got caught for fraud and everyone was made redundant but now Carrie looks in to it there were no redundancies. She realises how much of her life with him has been lead without her realising, or her just allowing it.,

The calls Robin and asks for the truth, Robin admits he knew of her when he met her. That he had told Johan to send her away. That this whole time he’s worked for shady people doing shady things. He lost his job recently because while he was on ‘holiday’ from that job he was out working for the guy he was working for when Johan was arrested, work found out and fired him and he never told Carrie.

Meanwhile Carrie and Johan had landed and driven to her house to find Robin not there, Carrie called the police and then when her mom called with the kids canceled that. She wanted to go straight to them but Johan said they couldn’t drive anymore they’d been up for too long.
Carrie looks for a cab but no one will take her at this time this far out. She goes upstairs and takes Johan outside and they hook up.

They head back to England together. Carrie calls her mom and asks her to dig.
Carries mom comes back saying she has the kids. She leaned on a police friend to triangulate his phone signal and it was hotel near her house so she went and befriended the front desk to let her up and go the kids, he gave them willingly and they’re not hurt and think they’re getting a plane to Carrie.

Johan calls her and while she is frantically heading to the airport and tells her he will meet her at the airport he must tell her something.

Robin was his fixer.
He and robin were friends
Robin would’ve knew exactly who Carrie was when he met her.

Carrie gets a phone call from Maya saying their dad has deteriorated in the home and died. Johan comforts her. Carrie tries to call robin and her calls are ignored (unlike robin). Things escalate when she gets a call from people who are checking in to their air b&b that robin is not on site to give them the keys. She suddenly realises robin can see her messages with Johan. She repeatedly calls him to explain

He tells her that their fixer who sorted their dive passes and stuff asked him to carry Ritalin over and as he was carrying anti biotics for carries mom he figured why not. Only it turned out it wasn’t Ritalin. The fixer felt bad and therefore kept getting his bosses to help Johans situation provided that Carrie and her mom stopped poking. He said he thought of the guy a lot and never looked him up when he got out
