July 3rd 2024.
Maria felt a knot in her stomach as she walked towards the police station. Her partner, Gary Windass, was there and she couldn't help but worry about what was going on. She had feared this moment for a while now, and it seemed like her worst fears were about to come true.
A few months ago, Gary and his ex-girlfriend Sarah Platt had started to reconnect. They had bonded over their shared concern for Liam's mental health and the recent imprisonment of Sarah's boyfriend Damon Hay. Things had gotten complicated when Sarah tried to make a move on Gary, but he had still been there to support her when her daughter Bethany's abuser, Nathan Curtis, returned to town.
In fact, Gary had even gone as far as to physically confront Nathan and give Sarah money to get him to leave. But now, that decision was coming back to haunt them. Kit, an acquaintance of Sarah's, had warned her that the police were onto them for giving Nathan hush money. Sarah was now being questioned and Maria couldn't help but wonder what Gary's role in all of this was.
As if that wasn't enough, Maria had just received a notification that Mason Radcliffe, the person responsible for bullying her son Liam to the brink of suicide, was being released from prison. She was devastated and needed answers. So, she headed to the police station and saw Gary there. He was providing his bank statements to support Sarah's story, but Maria had her own questions.
She couldn't help but wonder if Gary would come clean about the money he had used to help Sarah. He had previously told her that he had used it to buy a new boiler for the factory. But now, she couldn't shake off the feeling that he had lied to her, and the lie was in favor of Sarah. Maria had always been skeptical of their friendship and this could be the final straw that would break them up for good.
