The Third Wife

Cat gets ready for her third kickboxing class, held in a community center on the Highgate estate, intent on finding the woman known as Jane. On her way, she passes a group of teenage boys who comment on her clothes, and she responds with a playful retort.

Near the center, Cat collides with a blonde woman with one blue eye and one that is a mix of blue and amber. Recognizing the mismatched eyes from her father’s description, Cat asks if her name is Jane. The woman denies it, claims her name is Amanda, and says she is not attending the class after all. After Amanda leaves, Cat follows her.

Cat calls Adrian to tell him she is tailing the woman. She watches as Amanda catches a bus. Cat runs after it but misses it, losing her target.

The following weekend, Adrian’s first ex-wife, Susie, asks him to visit her in Hove at their former home. Susie expresses concern for his well-being and asks him to take in their son, Luke, who is struggling to find direction in his life. Adrian agrees, and they email Luke with the offer of a place to stay and a job at Adrian’s architectural firm.
