Afterwards, it was the door she would remember. It was open, she kept saying to
the police. I should have known something was wrong.
She could have retraced every step of the walk back from the Hall: the gravel
crunching beneath her feet of the path across Old Quad, under the Cherwell
Arch, then the illegal shortcut through the darkness of the Fellows’ Garden, her
feet light on the dew-soaked forbidden lawn. Oxford didn’t need KEEP OFF THE
GRASS signs; that lawn had been the preserve of dons and fellows for more than
two hundred years without needing to remind undergraduates of the fact.
Next, past the Master’s lodgings and along the path that skirted round the
New Quad (close on four hundred years old, but still a hundred years younger
than the Old Quad).

Then up staircase VII, four ights of worn stone steps, right up to the top,
where she and April slept, on the left-hand side of the landing, opposite Dr.
Myers’s rooms.
Dr. Myers’s door was closed, as it always was. But the other door, her door,
was open. That was the last thing she remembered. She should have known
something was wrong.
But she suspected nothing at all.
She knew what happened next only from what the others told her. Her
screams. Hugh following her up the stairs, two at a time. April’s limp body
sprawled across the hearth rug in front of the re, almost theatrically, in the
photos she was shown afterwards.
But she could not remember it herself. It was as if her brain had blocked it
out, shut down, like a memory glitch on a computer: file corrupted—and no
amount of patient questioning from the police ever brought her closer to that
actual moment of recognition.
Only sometimes, in the middle of the night, she wakes up with a picture in
front of her eyes, a picture dierent from the grainy Polaroids of the police
photographer, with their careful evidence markers and harsh oodlit lighting. In
this picture the lamps are dim, and April’s cheeks are still ushed with the last
glimpse of life. And she sees herself running across the room, tripping over the
rug to fall on her knees beside April’s body, and then she hears the screams.
She is never sure if that picture is a memory or a nightmare—or perhaps a
mix of both.
But whatever the truth, April is gone.
