![]() ![]() Jess is surprised that Ben can afford to live in an apartment as expensive as this one seems to be, but she soon learns that one of the other tenants, Nick, is a friend of his from his university days and got him in at a reduced rent. ![]() Now it seems that perhaps Ben needs her help for once. But Jess still loves her brother and has turned to him for help from time to time. So Ben was the one who got a good education and all the opportunities in life, while Jess has had to scrabble in a series of no-hope jobs to survive. ![]() Ben, good looking, always able to charm people, was quickly adopted while Jess stayed in the care system being passed from foster home to foster home. When they were children, their mother committed suicide and they were taken into care. Jess and Ben haven’t been close for years. All alone in a foreign country, the language of which she doesn’t speak, Jess sets out to find out what can have happened to Ben… He isn’t replying to texts or phone calls, and when Jess breaks into his apartment she finds his wallet and other items that she would have expected him to take with him had he left voluntarily. However, when she arrives Ben is not there, and no one in the opulent apartment building where he’s been living seems able to tell Jess where he might be. So she tells her brother Ben that she is coming to visit him in Paris. Jess has left her job in England rather suddenly, and in a way that means it’s advisable that she make herself scarce for a while. ![]()
