But Ronan has never forgotten it's his fans that got him there.

Just after midnight the household was woken by a policeman who had come to tell them that Lizzie was dead. She had been murdered.Twenty years after that terrible night, Jeremy and his girls are not the people they might have been had Lizzie not died. They’re certainly different, but not damaged.
