“Come on. Let’s get you up. What are you doing out here anyway?”

“I couldn’t sleep, Rupe. I was so scared I’d break her.”

Rupe. Rupert wanted to cry. It had been so long since Jodi had last called him that. “I can’t believe Jen left her here without telling me. I’m so sorry.”

Jodi had been home for a week or so, but the only change it had brought was they were now strangers to each other in the privacy of their own home 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

😭😭😭😭

“I . . . can’t breathe.”

“Would you like me to get Rupert for you?”

“No! I don’t know any fucking Rupert—” Pain roared through Jodi’s head. He fell back on the bed as the beeping went off the scale, and a deep, paralysing agony took hold, blinding him. He cried out and curled in on himself, but the sudden movement only brought more pain. “Oh God. Help me. Please.”
