Chapters

We had traveled from New York, done a house swap with a friend in the British Virgin Islands, so they were coming to New York to spend Christmas with their family there, and we just wanted something a little bit more tropical. And so we arrived at the house, everything was where she said it was, the gate, the number, the key was under the mat. I was initially like, huh, but I do what every Irish person does and tidied up a little bit because it was a little untidy and Made my list, made myself some toast. I think I probably had a beer and I went to look for like the supermarket and I started to read over her list again and a few things just didn't make any sense, like where the bedroom was, where the towels would be, things like that. And all of a sudden it just hit me and I was like, we're not in the right house. Tapped my husband on the shoulder and said, Darrin, I don't think we're in the right place here. And he woke up in shock, but he just felt it and knew it. And he's like, Oh my God, we have to get the hell out of here straight away.
