Jess wiped her sweaty hands on her apron, tried to look calm, and pushed open the door to her room. Martha looked up and put a finger to her lips, and for a fleeting second, Jess thought her mother must be able to hear her heart hammering, before she realised that she was to be quiet because Finn was asleep.

Jess couldn’t help staring at him. He was a more normal colour, but he still looked terrible, his face hollowed by hunger.

“I’ll sit with him now,” she said.

“All right. Let me know if he wakes up again.”

When she was sure that Martha was safely downstairs, Jess leaned close to the bed.

“Finn,” she whispered. “It’s me, Jess. Wake up, Finn. I need to talk to you.”

Nothing. Gently, she touched his cheek. At last, it was warm. He moved his head on the pillow a little at her touch, and she pulled her fingers away as though she’d been burned.

He opened his eyes.
