The Perfect Retreat (41 page)

The gate clicked and Kitty pushed it open. She walked up the steps to the large yellow front door.

There was the sound of a lock being undone and then the door swung open. Kitty found herself face-to-face with a beautiful and shockingly familiar woman.

‘Hello, I’m Willow Carruthers.’

Kitty put out her hand.

‘Kitty Middlemist. I’m here about the nanny job.’
