“Rob? Are you alright? Robert!” Nothing. She remembers something he told her ages ago and it has her grabbing the baby monitor and running out of the door and round to the side of Mill. “Robert Sugden! What are you doing?”
It was a sight, and she wished she’d brought her phone because no one would believe her, that she’d caught her thirty two year old, supposedly adult brother climbing out of the bathroom window in his own house.
“What does it look like I’m doing? Are you going to help me or just stand there?”
