‘So what now?’ Jen asked, while they two of them lay in bed.

‘Hmm?’ Gareth managed.

‘She tried to attack me. She tried to bite me. So now what? You go back to work and let her try bite me all day long?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘You don’t know?’

‘No. You want me to be honest. I haven’t got a fucking clue. I’m not a doctor, I’m not a psychologist. I. Do. Not. Know.’ Gareth looked up at the ceiling. ‘Listen to that, she’s calm now. She’s sleeping. And so, for however long that lasts, I’m going to enjoy it. I’m going to enjoy the peace. Because right now I don’t have any answers, Jen. All I know is that when she feeds, she’s satisfied. She’s content. She’s not that… thing. She’s Ana again. Even if it is only for a short while.’

Jen waited. She watched Gareth carefully, knowing that he would need to calm down before she even attempted to talk to him.

‘Ana needs to eat. Eat real food. This… whatever this is, it’s a quick fix. It may be calming her but it can’t be healing her. She needs food and rest.’

Gareth turned his head to Jen, he rolled his body over and put his arm around her.

‘You’re right, I… I panicked. I just wanted her to be better. I just don’t understand why all the medicine and the appointments aren’t working. I want things back the way they were. I just want Ana back. She hasn’t eaten, she hasn’t spoken in weeks.’ Tears filled his eyes. ‘I’m just scared that we’ll never get her back.’

‘I know. I’m scared too. I miss her, Gareth, I miss her little laugh and the stupid little things she found funny. But she will come back to us, we just have to carry on and be strong for her.’

Two grown adults lay in bed, terrified at circumstances beyond their control, crying until sleep claimed them both.
