In these pages Katie and Alex's relationship got closer. They spent much more time together. Katie went shopping with Alex's daughter, they had dinner all together and went to the beach. Katie had a conversation with Jo about Alex. Jo told Katie that if she wants to be with Alex, she can't hurt his feelings in the future, because he and his children had suffered about his wife's death. But Katie chose Alex and tried not to hurt his feelings. 
At the same time the book was talking about Kevin- Katie's husband and the exact Katie's getaway. Katie had planned leaving Kevin for a quite long time. She bought telephone after getting her hair done, when she had few minutes before Kevin picked her up. Also she stole small amounts from Kevin's wallet. She wanted Kevin to notice that. So one day when Kevin went to the business trip, she went away from home. She had small amount of money, so she slept in cheap hostels and traveled by bus until she reached to Southport. When Kevin reached home and realized that Katie was gone, he freaked out. He started drinking and searching for Katie. In work he didn't tell anyone about Katie, but he got into problems. Drinking went too far, one day he went with his partner Todd to a bar. The night ended with cheating on Katie, while thinking about Katie at the same time. 
Months lasted on and Katie and Alex's relationship got only closer. At the same time Kevin got also closer founding out where Katie had escaped. He got his final information from his neighbour.
In Southport there was a carneval. Katie, Alex and their kids went to the carneval. But after a day long drive to Southport, Kevin reached Southport.

MY OPINION

These pages were very interesting. I will continue my reading because Kevin reached in Southport and he is going to take Katie back home. I can't wait to know how this book ends. I have only sixty pages left.
