He’s a guy I met in a taxi to Wanaka. His wife died and he was going up to scatter her ashes – she was in his bag.
You do pick them don’t you … stuffed cat, dead wife in a bag.
She swam with dolphins.
When she was dead?
No, you eejit, when she was alive, and she sang every day.
That’s nice.
I think I might take up singing.
Can you sing?
Yes.
I didn’t know that.
There’s a lot of stuff you don’t know about me too, Niall…
ChapterFifty-Two
Your third and final challenge – link here.
My ankle had made a miraculous recovery from the day before and I was ready to take on whatever Niall was going to throw at me since I had managed not to sanitise on the bus the entire way back. I was ready, until I opened it.
Light Up Your Life in Te Anau Glowworms Cave!
Take yourself to the core of New Zealand and experience our magical underground glowworm tour!
I sent Niall a text straight away.
No way.
Come on, Pearl, you can do it.
No, I cannot, and I will not.

It’ll be incredible once you’re in there.
It’s a bloody cave. I’ll be in the pitch black.
Only in parts, once you get further in you’ll be amazed.
No, I won’t, because I won’t be going further in anywhere, thank you very much.
Glowworms are out of this world.
For you, maybe, but I have no interest in worms.
They are not actually worms, they’re female beetles that glow from their bottoms to attract the males.
Good for them.
