brought her as close as she could get and they gave to each other. Celine cried out and surrendered to his touch. He moaned and gave to her as much as he could give until they both found a release.
    He lay into her taking deep breaths. Celine brushed his hair with her hand and waited. It was a long wait as he just lay still on her. He closed his eyes to the beating of her heart and just enjoyed the moment. Ten minutes went by a nd he just lay there, another five minutes and he just remained still. Another five minutes passed before he lifted and smiled.
    ‘Thank you,’ he smiled.
    ‘For what?’
    ‘For everything.’ He moved away to pick up his clothes. ‘I think now, after we’ve got dressed is the best time to talk.’
    She nodded, fear gripped her. As much as she wanted to know everything she was also terrified. She was scared to know everything. She watched as he got dressed. After a while she decided to use the bathroom and put on a pair of jeans and top.
    ‘You look relaxed,’ he said as she came out.
    ‘Look it but don’t really feel it.’
    He reached out for her and she went to sit in his lap. She snuggled into him and for a while they just enjoyed that.
    ‘Rhyland,’ she said finally. ‘Don’t hide anything from me I want to know it all.’
    He took in a deep breath.
    ‘Everything and I want a number where I can contact you.’
    ‘The latter is easy.’ He fiddled for his phone. ‘I will give you a missed call without holding back my number.’
    ‘Why did you do that anyway?’
    ‘Because we weren’t where we are now. There’s a lot going on in my life.’
    ‘I’m all ears. Please tell me.’
    He nodded. ‘Okay I will.’
    Four Months before meeting Celine.
    ‘We’ve got your results back and I’m afraid it’s bad news.’
    Rhyland put his head into his hands; it was what he’d feared. After a moment he looked up at the doctor wanting to speak but no words came. It had been past the five years, he’d been in remission and then just before being given the clear there was an extraordinary rise in his white blood cells after a routine blood check.
    ‘I thought I was home free.’
    ‘We did too.’
    ‘You were about to give me the all clear, I can’t go through this again.’
    The fear gripped his stomach as he remembered how he’d gone through it the first time. Both parents were dead, he had no partner. All he had were his drivers, Finn his right hand man and his employees.
    ‘You spend your life building an empire only to discover you won’t be around long enough to enjoy it!’ He stood up and began to pace the doctor’s office.
    Doctor Khan had been with him all the way through his first diagnosis. He’d been truly sorry that it had come to this.
    ‘What now?’
    ‘The polyps on the bowels are just too many. The last time we cut out quite a bit of the bowel but there’s nothing left to cut. If we went for surgery there would be nothing left to join I’m so sorry.’
    ‘So what are you saying?’
    Doctor Khan had done this many times over but it was never easy, it was worse with Rhyland. He’d been so positive and had fought off the cancer the first time well. This was truly devastating.
    ‘ Dr Khan please tell me what this means?’ He sat back down.
    ‘I’m sorry Rhyland, now we can only offer you palliative care.’
    ‘So there’s nothing nothing at all?’ He never felt so terrified in his life. ‘I’m a fighter, this can’t be over for me. Not yet.’
    ‘We can offer chemo which could add two or three months max.’
    ‘So…so how long do I have without Chemo?’
    ‘I honestly can’t say. We predict times and many patients have outlived our predictions.’
    ‘But they died anyway. How long Dr?’
    ‘A year, maybe less, Chemo could give you a year and a half.’
    ‘No chemo, not for an extra six month, not if all those months I’m sick what would be the point.’ He didn’t feel anger, he felt defeated. He’d been down this road once before but then
