At the doorway, Sulia and Elijah looked back at the sound of Tracey laughing amid smashed bowls and abandoned slices of toast. Both felt an icy finger of premonition up their spines. Sulia tugged gently on Elijah’s arm, pulling him away from the dining room and the painted woman’s piercing eyes.

Chapter 30

Sarah Miller coughed discreetly into a tissue at the counter but to the rest of the waiting room the cough sounded more like a colony of seals clamouring for attention. She was sick; she knew she was sick, and to her utter annoyance she had to see a doctor or she’d end up on a hospital respirator, that was how sick she felt.

It had been at least twelve years since Sarah had last stepped foot in a doctor’s surgery. She preferred holistic, and her regime of daily vitamin C tablets and a clean vegan lifestyle, combined with a spoonful of honey, cured any ills. But her cough had worsened, and she didn’t want to die alone at home for want of antibiotics. She’d fought the idea for a week but she knew she was running out of time.

The receptionist handed her an enrolment form for new patients. Hopefully she wouldn’t need to see the doctor again, which she explained to the girl, but the receptionist was insistent she complete it. With an impatient sigh which turned into a hacking cough which threatened to send her lungs up through her throat and out onto the floor, Sarah retreated to one of the plush armchairs and filled in the form. The waiting patients shrank away from her, their own woes not as bad as Sarah’s cough.

She got as far as the next of kin question before her heart twisted with a pain worse than the coughing. A pain deeper than anything she’d experienced. Even death wasn’t as bad as the heartache overwhelming her as she considered what to write. The emptiness of the line was as empty as her life and her heart. The utter rejection she’d received over the phone still as crushing now as it had been then. How long ago was it now? She knew within the fraction of a second how long ago it had been - four weeks, five days and seven hours ago. Her life shattered with one phone call, breaking her heart with no possibility of ever picking up the pieces. There was no one to add for next of kin. She had no one, so left it blank.

The receptionist took her form whilst chatting on the phone about her weekend plans. It would be nice to have weekend plans, or any plans at all. Sarah was an artist and worked at home, at one with her oils and watercolours. Her brushes and liniments were her true friends. Most of her old friendships had fallen by the wayside when she’d immersed herself in her relationship. They’d given up on her after she brushed them off one too many times so it was only karma she had no one to make plans with, to dream about the future with, to grow old with.
