Groaning, I untangle myself from Nora and roll over to the nightstand to grab the wretched device that woke me up.
âHello?â I grumble while trying to to open my eyes.
âKaitlin? Where in the hell are you?â The air leaves my body and my heart stops as I hear James voice. Fuck, oh god no.
âW-what do you mean?â I stuttered as I sat up in bed, accidentally throwing Nora off of me. She groaned in protest.
âI mean,â He sighed in agitation. âI am standing in our living room and you are not here.â
âOh.â Bile creeps up my throat. He came home early? âI am ummm..at the neighbors house, across the street.â Nora raises a brow at me. I looked at her in panic, pointing to the phone.
âJames is homeâ I mouthed.
I realized that the phone was silent. Looking at it, I realized James ended the call.
âOh god.â I shook as I stood up and ran to the window. I felt my heart drop to my ass as I saw Jamesâ large figure walking from our house over here to Noraâs.
âFuck heâs coming here.â I slip my shoes on and pull my wild hair back. âWhat do I do? What do I say?â 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 Jamesâ jaw tick.
âSam.â I scold and he sits down. James cocks a brow at me.
âWhat in the fuck is happening.â He says through clenched teeth. âI got home ten minutes ago to surprise my wife and I find her in someone elseâs home looking likeâ¦â He eyes me up and down, and his face falls.
âWhere is he?â He growls, shoving past me. I fall against the wall as he walks in.
âJames! Wait!â I cry. âItâs not what you think!â Sam growls and blocks the hallway, his head lowered and teeth bared.
âShow yourself you fucking coward!â He roars. There is silence save for a âtapâ¦tapâ¦tapâ¦â 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.
âCan I help you?â Noraâs 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. âWait you wereââ
âYour wife was helping me out,â Nora says as she uses her crutches to move towards us. âI live alone, and as you can see, I haveâ¦limitations.â 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. âMy wife has always been known to be overlyâ¦helpful. Please, if she becomes too much, let me know and Iâll get her to back off.
