It’s now two days since Riley was killed. It’s amazing how quickly gossip dies down. I’d like to think if something horrible happened to my child, people would remember it for a bit longer. Perhaps it’s one of those situations that ‘rocks the community’ even though talk has turned to other matters. No doubt there’ll be a candlelit vigil within a week. For all the good that’ll do.
Mum called again this morning. She hasn’t even mentioned it once. It’s been all over the national news, never mind locally, but she still hasn’t brought it up. Then again, it’s not about her or Lauren, nor is it something she can offer advice on, so what’s the point? They’re the only things she ever opens her mouth for.
Thankfully, she offered to take Evie out today. She said she was heading into town
