been too tired last night. In fact, spotting her battered nylon suitcase propped against a wardrobe she realised that such had been her lethargy that she hadn’t even had the energy to unpack. She mentally pictured the few possessions that were inside the case and hoped that new clothes came with the new job.
    Grazyna continued surveying the bedroom. The limp curtains were translucent, allowing through a great deal of light, letting her see most of the room. There wasn’t much in it: the single bed she lay in, a battered bedside cabinet, dressing table and wardrobe, a yellowing landscape print on the wall opposite, but at least the carpet was fitted, and it was much warmer than the room she shared with her two sisters and three brothers back home. The thought of her family instigated a slideshow of memories to run inside her head, provoking a sudden tinge of sadness. Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but allow herself a little smile; if this was the luxury she was to experience, things already looked positive and it jolted her into reminding herself the reason why she was here, in England: not only to make a good life for herself but to be in a position to provide for her loving family back in her village.
    For that she was grateful to Andrius. She wouldn’t be here had it not been for a chance encounter with him and Henrikas.

    Two months ago, she and her friend Kofryna had bumped into the two good-looking young men from the next village while out shopping in Alytus, the main town in Dzukija region of Lituania. Andrius and Henrikas had quickly made an impression and followed them around for the best part of an hour, charming them into going for coffee. It had not been difficult saying yes, especially when they had offered to pay, and she and Kofryna had spent two hours in their company being captivated by their stories of travel through Europe, especially of how they had found work in London, England, and made themselves a small fortune. They had been so enthralled by the pair that they had missed the last bus home, throwing them into a panic. Andrius had been so kind and offered to give them a lift home in his Mercedes. She had returned to her remote farming village feeling like a princess. It had been such a special moment, and before he had driven away he had given her his mobile number and told her to give him a ring. That night, as she lay in her shared bed, listening to the soft snores of her brothers and sisters beside her, she toyed with the piece of paper Andrius had written his phone number on and replayed the stories that he and his friend Henrikas had regaled them with. She had been unable to shake his vision from her head and became overwhelmed by a sensation she had never felt before. Her stomach had turned-turtle so many times that night and she ached to see him again. Not only was he handsome, but far more wealthy than any other person she knew, and his lifestyle had sounded so idyllic in comparison to the future she had before her. After a restless night she met up with Kofryna and while toiling in the fields talked of nothing else but their meeting with Andrius and Henrikas. She hadn’t been alone in her feelings. Kofryna was also smitten with Henrikas, and so after finishing work that day she made the call and arranged to meet up with them again.

    The following Saturday, Grazyna took her time getting ready, bathing herself for longer and sneaking away a little of her mother’s “special” perfume before donning her best cotton dress. She was embarrassed about her scuffed shoes but she couldn’t do anything about them – they were the only “best” pair she had. She rubbed them against the back of her calves, trying to put a shine onto the toes, hoping that Andrius wouldn’t notice them.
    She met Kofryna on the edge of the village, looked her up and down and told her how good she looked, especially how much she liked her cardigan. Kofryna repaid the compliment about her
