After a long day at work Charlotte Owens arrived to her and her husband Neil's new home. She went in and it was spotless, everything were it should be, he must want an 'early night' she bought to her self. She went up stairs to find a trail of rose petals from the top of the stairs and through the partly opened door of the master bedroom. She went in and he jumped from the en suite and threw her on the bed, he tore of her red dress and began to kiss her neck. She pushed him off, got dressed and grabbed her gym bag. She dashed outside to her BMW and drove to Zumba and the village hall. She went in, she was the second one there, she went over to talk to a girl named Jeanette sitting in a chair in the hall, she was a petite brunette. They hit it off and when the other participants and the coach arrived they stood beside each other during the class. They decided to go for dinner and a drink after class. They arrived at her brothers Italian restaurant Isabella. They went in a got a dark booth and got a bottle of Prosecco, after a few bottles they headed to Jeanette's and she opened a bottle of white wine. Charlotte lunged at Jeanette and kissed her, Jeanette kissed back and next thing they knew the were in bed.

Charlotte went home and Neil was asleep on the sofa with his arms wrapped around a bottle of Jack Daniels. She stuck upstairs and dressed for work, as she walked down the stairs she heard the bottle hit the floor, she panicked and ran for the door, she heard his loud footsteps approach. He grabbed her arm and trailed her into the living room, she could smell the alcohol of his breath, he hadn't yet sobered up. He screamed in her face accusing her of having an affair, he swung his fist and it collided with her cheek, she flew across the room and hit her head on the coffee table knocking over a vase full of daffodils.
