THREE WEEKS EARLIER
Amy’s phone went dead shortly before sunset.
“Oh no…” She slowed the car, driving with one hand and pressing the button
on the side of her phone with the other. “Don’t give up on me, phone.”
But the screen remained black. The charging port in her secondhand car had
broken long ago. You idiot, she berated herself. Why did you listen to music all
the way down here?
The answer was simple: she hadn’t realized the journey would take this long.
The ad had described the location as “peaceful and remote.” It didn’t say how
remote.
Google Maps had estimated that Amy’s journey, from Dublin to the farthest
tip of West Cork, would take ve hours. She had been driving for well over six.
Google didn’t account for how winding and underdeveloped the roads were, for
the wrong turns she would take, for the fact that she couldn’t drive at the speed
limit the entire way.
The sun was dropping towards the horizon. Evening shadows were beginning
to stretch over the land. And here she was, in a part of rural Ireland that was
completely unfamiliar to her, with no map to guide her to her destination.
Great. This is just great.
She tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and continued driving down
the narrow country road. It was a gray ribbon winding through green elds,
running along one of the great peninsulas that formed the southwest coast of
Ireland.
The landscape, wild and rugged, green and gray, felt strange to Amy, who’d
lived her whole life in a city. To her right, the mountainous spine of the
peninsula rose like the back of some gargantuan sea creature. To her left, the
ocean shimmered under the evening sun.
On the road ahead, she saw a woman walking, a black dog trotting by her
side. Thank God. Someone to ask for directions.
She pulled up beside her and lowered her window. “Hi,” she said. “I’m
looking for a house called Sea View, outside a village called Knockcrea.”
The woman, who was ftyish and blonde, wore walking gear and an
unsmiling expression. “Just keep driving, keep the sea on your left. You’ll see it.
It stands out.”
“Great,” said Amy. “Thank you.”
“You a friend of the Carrolls?” the woman asked.
“Not exactly,” Amy replied. “I’m going to work for them. I’m their new
nanny-slash-housekeeper.”
A strange expression slid across the woman’s face. “Oh.” She nodded a couple
of times. “Well, you’re nearly there. Can’t miss it.”
Amy felt a stab of reticence. There was something in the woman’s tone she
didn’t like. But she thanked her, rolled up her window, and continued to drive.
A kilometer or so on, she took a bend in the road and saw the Carrolls’ house
for the rst time. “Wow,” she said aloud.
The woman was right: you couldn’t miss it.
