“‘I’m going home.’ Jackson had no idea where Tatiana lived. ‘Home’ sounded far too cosy a word for her. It was easier to imagine her in a forest lair or lying on a tree branch, one eye open even in sleep, ready to swoop on an unsuspecting victim, but no, she was a creature of surprises. ‘Going to have hot chocolate and watch old Marple,’ she said.”
