    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up.

Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      CHAPTER 1

      I thought school exams were scary.

      I was wrong, they were a piece of cake compared to sitting in the cafe and waiting to speak to my mother. My leg was shaking, trying to get rid of the nervous energy flying around my bloodstream.

      I had been younger than Jemma when I last saw my mother. She made her position very clear when she walked out on us. She left my father, my little sister, and me like it was no big deal.

      Like we didn’t matter.

      And now she expected us to take her back and accept her as our mother? She was crazy. The only reason I’d agreed to this meeting was because I was curious about her reasons for doing what she did. Plus, I wanted to protect Jemma. There was no way she was going to meet with our so-called mother without me getting the lowdown first.

      My cellphone beeped with a text message. My first thought was that my mother was cancelling, that she’d changed her mind about being a mother again.

      I picked up my phone and saw the message was from Cole. I sighed with relief. A text from my boyfriend was definitely more welcome than my suspicions.

      Hope it all goes well. I’m here to talk if you need me. Love, C xxooxxoo

      My lips quirked into a smile as I finished reading. Cole Newton may be one of the biggest singers of our time, but he still remembered my meeting. He was probably in a limo or on a private plane, doing something fabulous.

      But I was the one on his mind.

      I had to love him for that.

      Before I could text back a reply, a woman stood next to me. I saw her red sandals first, then her white dress that cut just below the knee. Finally, my eyes reached her face.

      My mother.

      I don’t know what exactly I expected, but it wasn’t this. She was older than I remembered, which made sense considering so much time had passed. But there was something else different about her, too. Something I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

      Hello, Melrose, she said, kindly, like she hadn’t abandoned me when I most needed her. She stood there next to the table, as if I was supposed to stand up and give her a hug.

      She was going to be waiting for a long time.

      You should probably sit down if we’re going to talk, I replied, with no hint of emotion in my voice. It was taking all my self-control not to cry and get emotional about seeing her again. I needed to keep a hold of myself, otherwise I was going to get hurt all over again.

      She finally sat. Have you ordered something? I could get us some coffees. Do you drink coffee?

      I’m fine.

      Okay, then. Her fingers twined together on the table, instantly making me remember how she used to do that all the time. Whenever she was nervous or after having a fight with my dad, her fingers would link together like she was holding her own hand for reassurance. You’re looking so beautiful, you’ve grown up into such a gorgeous young woman.

      Compliments were not going to reel me back in. No thanks to you.

      Hurt flickered in her eyes and guilt crept into mine. I didn’t want to make her suffer, but I also kind of did. The mental scars she had inflicted on me when I was a kid were too deep to forget so easily. This woman had walked out on us, surely she couldn’t expect us to welcome her back so readily.

      She shifted in her seat. I will remember to tell your father what a good job he did in raising you and Jemma.

      Don’t talk about her. You don’t get that privilege.

      "I’ve never stopped loving you both.
