a small pot-scented apartment in Sydney, with a conspiracy theorist as a

flatmate who wouldn’t even let her near a cat.
‘What happened to Izzy?’
Nora realised she had just asked the question out loud.
Jojo looked confused. ‘Izzy? Your old friend Izzy?’

‘Yeah.’
‘ e one who died?’
e words came so fast Nora could hardly absorb them.
‘Um, what?’

‘ e car crash girl?’
‘What?’
Jojo looked confused, as curls of smoke wisped across her face. ‘You okay,
Nora?’ She held out the joint. ‘Wanna toke? ’

‘No, I’m okay thanks.’
Jojo chuckled. ‘Makes a change.’
Nora grabbed her phone. Went online. Typed ‘Isabel Hirsh’ into the
search box. en clicked ‘News’.

ere it was. A headline. Above a picture of Izzy’s tanned face, smiling.

BRITISH WOMAN KILLED IN NSW ROAD COLLISION

A woman, 33, was killed and three people hospitalised south of Coffs

Harbour last night when the woman’s Toyota Corolla collided with a car
travelling in the opposite direction on the Pacific Highway.
e female driver, identified as British citizen Isabel Hirsh, died at the

scene of the accident just before 9pm. She was the only person in the Toyota.
According to her flatmate, Nora Seed, Isabel had been driving from
Sydney back to Byron Bay, to attend Nora’s birthday party. Isabel had
recently started working for Byron Bay Whale Watching Tours.
‘I am totally devastated,’ Nora said. ‘We travelled to Australia toget her

only a month ago and Izzy had planned to stay here for as long as possible.
She was such a force of life that it feels impossible to imagine the world
without her in it. She was so excited about her new job. It is so unbearably

sad and hard to comprehend.’
