Rhia had explained to Molly that they were all moving. That her surname was going to be changed. She would have Salem’s surname now. It was traditional. They were moving tomorrow, Tuesday. There wouldn’t be time to say goodbye to her friends. Molly was kind of used to the odd life her mother led even not knowing the full truth of it. Rhia had told her she worked as a masseuse (it kept the lying to a minimum) late at night and so on. She knew that Salem had been in jail, but Rhia burnt into Molly’s brain that it was a mistake. They got the wrong person. Salem was a good guy. Molly bought it because she was a kid and loved Salem as much as she loved her mum.
This was hard though. She made friends easily. She had strawberry blonde hair, was a little chubby but not fat, incredibly open to eve
