Harper Clarke stared at her reflection in disbelief. Her instinct was to scream, because the woman staring back at her was unrecognisable, a bruised and bloody mess. But she didn't scream, she didn't dare, it would have hurt too much. She didn't cry either. Her face was so painfully tender that she was scared to even move a muscle. The raw, oozing cuts above and below her eyes showed no sign of healing. The bruises on her puffy cheeks, instead of fading, were getting darker all the time, creeping across her face like purple ink stains. Is it a good lesson to learn? She wondered. To feel ugly and vulnerable? The mirror wobbled in her hand as her eyes filled with tears. No, there was a different lesson to be learnt here. How could her marriage have come to this? How on earth did it end up this way?
