But things shift. He meets and marries his current partner, someone who's been his rock over the years. And he adopts her two children when they're still quite young. Fatherhood is something he enjoys and is good at. And it's also something that changes his perceptions.

Die Versicherung, die Gareths Mutter gesagt hat, die sie in 1988 zur Schule gegeben hat, dass Sally Ann Bowen wieder lernen würde, war nicht wahr. Es hat Gareth eine Vierteljahre gedauert, um zu realisieren.

Es gibt kein einziges Event, das die Zahlen für ihn beibringt. Es ist mehr ein langsamer Ausdruck neuer Informationen, gesehen durch das schwingende Lens eines mehr erfahrenen, älteren Mannes. Aber der Tag kommt endlich, als Gareth bereit ist, was seine Mutter all diese Jahre lang gemacht hat. Er nimmt das Telefon an und ruft die Polizei an. This is when Gareth's story reaches its second act.

Gareth understands now that he's been badly harmed by what happened to him after Miss Bowen left. He knows the relationship knocked his life off course. But at the same time, he still clings to the idea that what he and Miss Bowen had was something special. So when he goes to the police, he hopes she might take responsibility for what happened back then. Perhaps put it down to a moment of madness.

That's not what happens.

But you're angry with her for lying.

This is 2015 and by now Gareth's in his 40s. And after finally going to the police, he's not being believed. So now it's on him to prove he hasn't made the whole thing up. The police investigation begins consuming his empty days. He makes long lists of all the teachers he remembers. Each one, he's sure, can vouch for the fact that he had a thing with Miss Bowen.

The police start calling round and speaking to dozens of teachers. Des Tinch, the head of year, who his mother spoke to. Heather MacIsaac, Miss Bowen's friend, who told him she didn't agree with the relationship. And lots of others. And each time they get hold of someone, they call Gareth to update him.
