No more looking over her shoulder. No more complications… Then Polly meets Ben. Ben is guardian to his niece, Emily. They become close, with Polly teaching Ben how to plait Emily’s hair and Ben playing football with Louis. Their friendship is unexpected. Polly has never been happier.

And give herself, as well as her son, a chance at a new life?
