Chapter Seven

KAITLIN

Buzzzz… Buzzzz… Buzzzz… Buzzzz

Groaning, I untangle myself from Nora and roll over to the nightstand to grab the wretched device that woke me up.

“Hello?” I grumble while trying to to open my eyes.

“Kaitlin? Where in the hell are you?” The air leaves my body and my heart stops as I hear James voice. Fuck, oh god no.

“W-what do you mean?” I stuttered as I sat up in bed, accidentally throwing Nora off of me. She groaned in protest.

“I mean,” He sighed in agitation. “I am standing in our living room and you are not here.”

“Oh.” Bile creeps up my throat. He came home early? “I am ummm..at the neighbors house, across the street.” Nora raises a brow at me. I looked at her in panic, pointing to the phone.

‘James is home’ I mouthed.

I realized that the phone was silent. Looking at it, I realized James ended the call.

“Oh god.” I shook as I stood up and ran to the window. I felt my heart drop to my ass as I saw James’ large figure walking from our house over here to Nora’s.

“Fuck he’s coming here.” I slip my shoes on and pull my wild hair back. “What do I do? What do I say?” I look at Nora, hoping for the answer, but she just stares at me in silence.

Sam barks and my anxiety shoots up as I run through the house to the front door. Opening it, I stare at my husband. Sam barks again and I watch James’ jaw tick.

“Sam.” I scold and he sits down. James cocks a brow at me.

“What in the fuck is happening.” He says through clenched teeth. “I got home ten minutes ago to surprise my wife and I find her in someone else’s home looking like…” He eyes me up and down, and his face falls.

“Where is he?” He growls, shoving past me. I fall against the wall as he walks in.

“James! Wait!” I cry. “It’s not what you think!” Sam growls and blocks the hallway, his head lowered and teeth bared.

“Show yourself you fucking coward!” He roars. There is silence save for a “tap…tap…tap…” on the floor. It grows closer and closer until Nora stands behind Sam. She wears a baggy t-shirt and pair of red track shorts that shows off her missing leg. I look at her in shock as she leans on her crutches.

“Can I help you?” Nora’s voice is strong and commanding. She snaps her fingers and Sam instantly stops his growling and goes to sit beside her.

James looks Nora up and down several times before staring back at me. “Wait you were—“

“Your wife was helping me out,” Nora says as she uses her crutches to move towards us. “I live alone, and as you can see, I have…limitations.” The way she says limitations, I know it hurts her, hell it hurts me to hear her say it.

James looks from Nora back to me. “My wife has always been known to be overly…helpful. Please, if she becomes too much, let me know and I’ll get her to back off.
