Chapter 28I wasn’t surprised when she didn’t answer the door so I nervously turned the key in the lock and let myself in. As I slowly opened the door to the living room I heard ‘Go away David!’ called from inside but I kept pushing the door open until she could see me from where she was laying on the sofa.
I was shocked by her appearance. She looked pale, gaunt and thin and her usually gorgeous curly brown hair was greasy and limp on her head. Her eyes registered surprise at seeing me but she made no effort to move or speak so I walked straight to the kitchen and placed the Chinese food in the microwave to warm and then started a bath running.
Returning with plates of hot food I pushed her legs off the sofa and made her sit up. She still hadn’t spoken to me but she wasn’t pushing me away
