When she receives a threatening note demanding a midnight meeting at an old warehouse, she faces the risk that secrets will resurface. While navigating suspicion and the possibility of being watched, Moira balances secrecy, her family’s needs, and escalating tension as the situation turns from manageable inconvenience into genuine danger.","Rough-Text copyright © Emmy Ellis 2026 [Cover Art by Emmy Ellis @ studioenp.com](Cover Art by Emmy Ellis @ studioenp.com) © 2026  \nAll Rights Reserved  \nRough is a work of fiction.

Just thinking if his name had Moira shivering. Until she’d received that bloody note, she’d stopped thinking about him. She’d finally believed she didn’t have to remember that part of her life anymore; she’d popped it in a box called DO NOT OPEN and moved on. Okay, that ‘moving on’ had sent her into a worse situation with her marriage, but if she hadn’t taken that route, she’d never have had her three children.  \nSome mistakes led to miracles, so she could never regret meeting Dean. Jordy, on the other hand…  \nEverything had been going so well, and now it wasn’t.  \nI’m back. Meet me at the old warehouse, 11p.m.  \nSee you soon,  \nJ  \nShe could have ignored the note, but knowing him like she did, he’d have confronted her and created a fuss somewhere public if she didn’t meet him, so she had no choice but to speak to him if she wanted her past kept a secret. And it was better to get it over and done with now, rather than be embarrassed by him later. She had no idea what he could want her for, though. They’d agreed to go their separate ways. He’d said goodbye in a text. It had been over.  \nOn her way to meet him, the summer night cloying, she spotted a skip beside a block of flats. She had time to poke around in it, and the distraction might do her good. Blasts from the past were never a good thing in her case, and she’d been nervous ever since she’d received the note. Jordy must have been watching her to know she was in the pub. How long had he been doing that for? What did he think of her Botox, hair extensions, and acrylic nails? He’d likely think she was high maintenance, but she worked hard to afford nice things. Her kids always came first, though.  \nShe’d left them at home. Kalvin, her eldest at sixteen, babysat for Gemma, twelve, and Elsie, ten. Moira had said she was off out to meet a friend but should have said she was scavenging, something she did to make extra money. If she found good stuff, she cleaned it up and sold in on eBay. Because she’d deviated from the usual excuse for going out late in the  \nevening, Kalvin might stew on it and ask questions she didn’t want to answer when she got back.  \nShit.  \nThe skip had a fair bit of bounty in it. An armchair with a fabric seat and mahogany legs would be too heavy to carry home, as would a large mirror that surprisingly hadn’t cracked when ","cbCaip15X7c9geny","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip15X7c9geny","pdf",2213802,172,"English","en",105,"# Chapter One\n## Contents (Chapters One–Thirty-Six)","[{\"question\":\"Who is Moira in Rough, and why is she trying to forget the past?\",\"answer\":\"Moira is a mother who has deliberately tried to stop thinking about her earlier relationship with Jordy by putting that past into a “DO NOT OPEN” box.
