This chapter brings the story onwards in Victoria’s life to when she finally settles in Rotterdam in her new apartment which she shares with her best friend, Abby, a former fashion designer and artist. Working as a senior polymer scientist at the Ahrendolie refinery, a serious and unsettling plant incident upends her life and forces a likely career move. But whilst she and Abby decide on a long holiday to recharge and think about their futures, she receives notification of an inheritance requiring a trip back to Liverpool and the revisiting of past childhood memories she wanted to permanently escape from.
