Lizzie walks through the front door wearing a massive sunhat and carrying a basket of flowers. I’ve noticed she goes into her garden every day picking wildflowers and planting. I’ve watched her a few times just sat on the soil staring into the distance. Her garden is obviously her happy place, somewhere she goes to think and be alone. She takes one look at me and drops the basket to the floor before hurrying to my side. She places her hand on my forehead.
“What’s wrong Dear? You look awful!”
“Time of the month or soon to be. I’m okay,” I tell her worried face, she’s now frowning at me.
“I best Comm that man of yours. He’ll no doubt look after you better than I can.”
“Please don’t! Lizzie, I’m fine honestly. He’ll just panic and there’s really no need. I think I’ll just go and lie down again if that’s okay?”
She stands there deliberating. He obviously told her to keep him informed. If he gets this worked up over me being sick and aching how would he cope if I was... Shit! I shake my head to remove the thought that just jumped in feet first. No way! Not possible! Is it? I feel all the blood rush from me and start to feel quite faint. Oh hell no! No. No. No! How would I even find out? I suddenly realise Lizzie is still staring at me, her face pales too as if she can read my thoughts so I stand and start backing out of the room. Must be alone! Need to think and more importantly, I need to calm down!

I’m here but letting them do all the talking. Here but really back at the bungalow with Faith. I keep playing how ill she looked this morning. How weak and frail. Not surprising as she was up most of the night shouting out in her sleep. At one point she started sleepwalking. I’ve never seen her do that before. I thought she was awake but when I called out to her she started talking about things that made no sense. Her eyes were crazy as if she’d taken something and to be honest, she scared the crap out of me. Her dreams have affected her deeply before but never to the extent where she physically wretches. I need to concentrate, she’s fine. Gran promised to Comm me at the slightest change. I need to quit this shit. I’ve never worried about another being the amount I do about her. It’s driving me crazy. I’m supposed to be planning. Figuring this shit out.
“So, tonight?” Jonah asks snapping me back to the present.
“Sorry?”
“We go back tonight? Early hours to be precise?”
I nod.
“And you’re sure about the location?” He continues.
“As sure as I can be,” I reply.
“Okay then, let’s break, get some rest and reconvene then,” he tells the team.
They start to leave and Jonah walks over to me, taking the seat at my side.
“Are you really gonna be able to do this?”
“I have too, don’t I?”
“I guess, I just never thought you’d give up so easily, especially after all it took to get her back.”
“You think I’m giving up? You think I want this? That I’m happy about it?” I yell, “This is the hardest choice I’ve ever made. I fucking hate it! I don’t know... I don’t know what else to do. I don’t know how I’ll survive it. Happy?”
“Look man...”
“Don’t! You might know my inner most feelings now but that doesn’t mean I won’t do it; it just means... it’s not as easy as you all seem to think I’m finding it.”
“Kye...”
I cut him off, I don’t need a heart to heart. I just need to convince him I’m in, he’ll get May back and they can count on me. “Doesn’t matter. Go on, get your head down too, we’re gonna be up early and need to be prepared and alert.” I wave him away with my hand and after a few seconds of sizing me up and holding his tongue, he takes the hint. He walks towards the door but turns back when he reaches it, “I’m just gonna throw something out there. Something I don’t think you’ve considered.”
“All I’ve done is consider other possibilities, but be my
