Everything my husband and I have always dreamt of has finally come true. Our new home with its open-plan kitchen and marble countertops couldn’t be further from the small, damp flat where we lived only months ago.

But Mel seemed so happy and in love, I couldn’t bring myself to share my creeping doubts.
