Ashley's POV;

I hadn't gone home since the strike started because I'm not yet ready to leave Gerald, and my mother's request is still standing.

She wants me to go and see Aunt Lily one more time before going home, and I don't want to do that.

I love my aunty a lot and do want to spend some time with her. But I can't do that, with her son lurking around.

He'd take any chance he has, to have sex with me, even if it means screwing me up against a wall, with her in the same room.

I'm tired of such taboos happening. Yes, I was much younger...
